Jason Kipnis was the 2012 opening day starter at second baseman for the Cleveland Indians. Aaron Hoffman was a kid who played in one of the Northeast Ohio Baseball Coaches Association All-Star games at Progressive Field last summer. During the festivities, Hoffman and some friends snuck into the Indians clubhouse where Hoffman – a 3rd baseman – found Kipnis’ phone number on his golf bag. 6 months later, Hoffman worked up the nerve to text Kipnis.

The results were polite as Kipnis called it a slick move and asked that he keep the number quiet, but for @A_Hoff_aholic, it was pretty much the coolest thing ever.

Though some people don’t appreciate his nads.
