Brett Phillips plays baseball with joy.

Joy when hes at the plate. Joy when hes in the dugout with his teammates. Joy when hes roaming the outfield. Joy when hes hitting grand slams. Joy, even when hes being hit with a Kindle Vildor Jerseys 95-mph pitch right next to the shoulder blade.

Thats Brett Phillips, one of the most unique personalities in the sport.

At Sporting News, we wanted to sample a piece of that joy, so I invited Phillips to a one-on-one Zoom se sion to look back at some of his more memorable moments this season. It did not disappoint, as you can tell from thevideo below.

The only regret is we chatted too soon. Our Zoom se sion was Saturday, Aug. 14, and two days later he legged out an inside-the-park homer. Well ask him about that next time, eh?

Here are a few outtakes that didnt make the video.

The walk-off against the Mets

Its not THE walk-off, the incredible ending to Game 3 of the World Series last year, when his single led to a rather unbelievable finish that ended with Randy Arozarena slapping home plate after crawling the last stretch home. I showed him the play and said, You know which one this is, right?

He laughed.

Oh, of course. I dont have that many in my career, so when you tell me Teven Jenkins Jerseys just a little information about a walk-off, I know exactly which one youre talking about.

It was a treat for his home fans.

I was fortunate enough that it was at the Trop. I just love the fans. Those are my people. I was born and raised in Seminole, 20 minutes from the Trop. Thats my hometown, so Im glad I was able to have a walk-off in the Trop.

The fake charge of the mound

Jorge Lopez is a friend and a long-time teammate of Phillips, both with the Brewers and Royals. He drilled Phillips with a 95-mph fastball in the shoulder blade. Watch the video; he yells in pain as hes hit, then when he turns back around hes laughing with his buddy.

Thats how I am, able to switch on a dime, Phillips said. For good, not for bad. Take bad moments and turn them good, in my daily life. Just so happy-go-lucky all the time, just trying to see the best in everything and everyone.

The pitching appearance

We wont spoil whats in the video, with Phillips describing what happened with the warmups. Phillips threw his first pitch 94 mph, then to sed up a series of loopers in the mid-40 mph range.

I Chicago Bears Women Jersey was gonna have some fun, he said. It was my first time pitching since middle school, and youve got to enjoy moments. Its a long season and stuff like that makes it a little better. We move forward, and we won the next day.

But hes a little jealous of Brock Holt, a position player who threw a series of 30ish mph pitches a few weeks later.

Thats actually very impre sive, he said. I think my next outing Ill try to beat him.

The I love youinto the camera

Turns out, he wasnt looking at the camera, but another former teammate, Vince Velasquez. Two pitches after he told his teammate those three magic words, he homered.

Maybe he should try that more often, right?

I should! Even if I dont know anyone in the other dugout, just start saying I love you to someone over there.

The laugh that introduced Phillips to Chicago Bears Home Office the world

The laugh is unforgettable.

It was, once upon a time, a secret. Phillips was drafted by the Astros in the sixth round of the 2012MLB Draft, then traded to the Brewers at the 2015 midseason trade deadline. That video happened in spring training 2016.

"When I was with Houston, everyone knew I laughed like that, but they never exposed me. No one thought to. I dont know if Twitter was popular yet in 2012 to 2014, but when I got over to Milwaukee, once they saw that they were like, This is the weirdest thing ever. Weve got to see if the world agrees.Sure enough, millions of views later, Im known as the laugh guy.
