Best intro ever? University of Oregon takes field behind bagpipe-playing relief pitcher

For the past few weeks, I've been wondering how Brian Wilson might be best able to serve the San Francisco Giants as he recovers from season-ending Tommy John surgery.

After watching this video, I now have a pretty good idea. The eccentric closer can don a kilt and get rid of some of his extra hot air by leading the rest of the Giants bullpen onto the field with a set of bagpipes — just like University of Oregon relief pitcher David Wylie does:

Ah, as Harry Caray used to say, you can't beat fun at the old ballpark, friends.

Make no mistake, either: That really is Wylie squawking his Duck teammates onto the field. The junior righthander has "enjoys playing the bagpipes" listed in the personal section of his Oregon biography.
