Mike Napoli shows some skin at the plate

Mike-Napoli-shirt-unbuttoned

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mike Napoli is not the first MLB player to leave the top buttons on his jersey undone. Plenty of guys do it on warm days without caring if they look like slobs, but there is usually an undershirt involved. On Sunday, Napoli took that entirely out of the equation.

As you can see from the photo above that was posted on Reddit, Napoli decided to show some skin during Boston’s loss to the Detroit Tigers. He has always been one of those “screw the top buttons” guys, but usually Napoli has an undershirt on. It’s a lot less weird when he does, and we’re hoping he brings it back for the next game. No one needs to see that.
