If there are two things Jackec Riker will do, it's crushed bad guys with bare hands and emits utterly vague references to medium infilder who once played for Yorkyork Yanki ... And he's all the bad guys to destroy them. (Okay, that last part is not strictly accurate, but just works with me here.) Season 3 Reacher was busy living until excitement As the best installment of the Prime Minister Video series of the first, throwing the image of Alan Richson's title and his newly discovered ally Susan Duffy (Sonja Cassidi, which you can recognize from several other projects) The collision course with some of the biggest bad in the entire franchise of the author Li Childs. But no matter how much it is These episodes take their signs from the best of booksA particularly funny moment in the premiere of Season 3 is related to the personality of the Reacher trademark of the original material: Encyclopedic knowledge of random baseball players in a large league.

Reaching the name of Rob Refly as an alias to check in a hotel of disclosure, while a decent moment in itself (at least for those of us who have joked), is far from the end of the story. Former Yankis infilder and current Boston Red Sox outfiller is just going to be a perfect bridge between two a lot Heated sports rivals. Of course, it also responds to the needs of this story, which puts Jankis's anklist directly in the way of Boston's native agent, Dea Agent Duffy.

Here's where it gets funny, though: MLB's longtime rapporteur, Athletic's Chad Ennovers (who previously covered both the yanks and Red Sox during his rhythm time) caught this reference on the TV weeks and decided to ask the Refsnyder himself for his mind. Its invaluable reaction can best be summarized like, well, confusion.

The life comes with you quickly. First, you can break into the baseball as a highly spicy perspective for the legendary organization in Yorkyork Yankis, and then become a key piece by the Boston Red Sox team ... just turn around and discover that the Los Angeles Writers' Room is hit by one of your shows. It must be one of the coolest and most incredible trails for a talented athlete, who would not be considered a prototype name of the household. Just don't expect the right Rob Refsnyder to fully appreciate its little arrival at Reacher, for several reasons.

It's a fun twist to all this saga, like Athletic Reported shortly after the premiere of Season 3 of Reacher. When it was reached for comment on his involvement, Refsnyder had an incredible reaction: "I'm like, why? Why I?" The underestimated utility player raises a valid point, especially since it is not technically Exactly in the first place. The real baseball nerves know that he is actually not more than the middle infilerAs Duffy claims in the show. Stunning, rapporteur Chad Ennings catches the premiere/executive producer of "Reacher" Scott Sullivan to reach the bottom of this. To be fair, Sullivan wrote this back in 2022, before Refsnyder changed the primary positions and turned it full time. (For non -athlete fanatics, Reacher has a soft point for athletes playing infield positions, such as a second base and a short station.) As Sullivan explained, light:

"I wrote the line where Duffy says," You don't look like a middle infilder for me. " So, it is that he is now playing outside.

It didn't take much time before old friends and acquaintances bloom the Refsnyder's phone to inform him of his newly discovered glory, but naturally, he was a little more concerned to set some of the best statistics of his career in Boston, rather than being held at Tocher. Asked if he was a fan of the series, he replied: "I watched the first season. Oh no, no. Was Johnon Krasinski in the first season?" We will only have to forgive the Refsnyder that confused his "Jackack Ryan" with "Reacher". Athletes - they're just like us!
