Today, I officially became a Brad Penny fan.

I began to like him a few years ago when he offered a Marlins batboy $500 to drink a gallon of milk in an hour without vomiting. When the Marlins fired the batboy, Penny gave the kid a week's worth of his salary (almost $100,000).

It also doesn't hurt that he's a pretty good pitcher or (as shown above) hangs out with Eliza Dushku.

But, today, I read a little article on the Dodgers' site about Penny warming up with a fan in the stands the other day. How cool is that?!

MLB needs more guys like Brad Penny...
