Nick Punto's New Bike

From Phil Miller of the St. Paul Pioneer Press comes the following tidbit of news:

Nick Punto knows a good clubhouse gag when he sees one, so he got a good laugh when he discovered someone had put a child's bike, complete with training wheels, in his locker. "Hey, don't think I can't ride it," he said, and Punto then proceeded to prove it, working up some pretty good speed as he hunched over the tiny handlebars, occasionally ringing the little bell. He did a lap out in the concourse, then rode into various rooms of the clubhouse, demanding to know who the jokester was. Nobody knew, but everyone was entertained.

After the jump, we've got an exclusive photograph of the incident....

Haha
I like LEN III' comment that everyone just assumed it was Mike Redmond's doing.

It ended up not actually being a gag though.  I just belonged to Paul Molitor's little daughter and got stuck by Punto's locker by happenstance.  

Baseball is great because you cant take a knee or kill the clock. You gotta put the ball over the plate and give the other guy his damn shot E Weaver abridged
