I think something that stopped me from getting into baseball originally was that people kept saying that it's the most boring sport so I never watched, but when you actually watch a full game it's entertaining (at least for me)

    Nats fan here with a little story about Max: In December 2019, two months after he won the World Series, I ran into Max and his wife at the mall in Tyson’s Corner. I approached him and said “hey max” and he acknowledged me but started to turn around. I get it. He’s with his wife and doesn’t want to be bothered. But I was with my family, too, and told him: “you’ve got two massive fans over there who would love to congratulate you.” My two sons - who still wear his jersey - were standing a couple feet away. He walked up to them, asked their names, and shook their hands. He is still my oldest son’s favorite player.
    I’ll always appreciate that moment.

    Max is an absolute savage. And for anybody still entertaining the "psychopath" question, just take a few minutes searching up how much charity work this guy does for his community outside the sport. That should answer any lingering questions. Considering psychopaths lack the ability to feel empathy, they aren't very keen on donating a bunch of their time and/or money toward helping those who are less fortunate. Although, I suppose one could possibly do this if they felt it benefitted them in some way... but I highly doubt it.

    I was lucky enough to do a clinic with Max in 2017, he was the nicest player I’ve ever met. Such a sweet person, he fixed my windup and I’ve been a much better person since. He’s definitely a different person on the mound. He may seem absolutely insane while pitching, off the field he’s seriously the best guy you could meet

      That's cool to hear. He seems like he's just a dude out of uniform when he's not pitching. I never said anything to him but I've seen him around Miami when he's pitched down here (I have been working bars, hotels, and restaurants for years) and if he were an asshole I would have heard it from my coworkers. He always seemed pretty friendly and focused on who he was with.
