take questions from the kids from Shissler Summer
Camp.

 

Jimmy Rollins doesn’t like cantaloupe, and found someone else among the campers that is on his team.

Jimmy Rollins challenges Christian Konstantinidis to a cantaloupe
eating contest. Neither of them like the fruit, and they only got to the 2nd
piece before they both gave in.
