Spring scenes: Reds outfielder goes behind the camera

From USA Today: inside spring training with Chris Dickerson.

Throughout spring training, USA TODAY will provide a glimpse at the unguarded, unscripted moments of spring training through the eyes of Major League Baseball players. We have provided handheld video cameras to multiple players, who will capture the untold stories of spring. Baseball fans will see the daily grind of life at the ballpark, the surprisingly spartan spring existence of many players and hopefully learn something new once the camera stops rolling.

Our first subject: Cincinnati Reds outfielder Chris Dickerson.

Damn,

he seems like a pretty together dude. I’m definitely rooting for him to win the LF job now.

Totally agreed.

And Lefty Smurf seemed pretty cool, too.

Has Dickerson sent a heartfelt 'screw you' to Sister D yet? :)

I would love for him to.

I also like the incredible eruditeness he tries to exude. Um, he didn’t go to college, so he’s either casually really smart, or he wants to spend a few nights in Oxford, OH this summer.
