AUDIO: Nyjer Morgan goes full Tony Plush in post-game interview
Kim Klement / USA TODAY Sports
Nyjer Morgan is a fringe-level journeyman replacement outfielder that has bounced around to four different teams in his seven-year career, sporting a 91 OPS+ in just under 600 games.
His alter ego Tony Plush, on the other hand, is a walking, talking, one-man embodiment of the joie de vivre that comes from playing a children's game for a living.
On Sunday afternoon, Nyjer Morgan had the deciding home run in a 6-5 Cleveland Indians win over the Tampa Bay Rays, and both he and T-Plush were on hand to give a post-game radio interview for the ages.

The 33-year old Morgan sprinkles the interview with lots of laughter and "Woo!"-ing, reminding us all to cherish the moments we have with Tony Plush while he's still here.
