Josh Donaldson is known on Twitter as the Bringer of Rain, and while most people think it has to do with his ability to crush home runs, it’s actually something he took from Spartacus: Blood and Sand. However, that hasn’t stopped baseball fans from using it in reference to his hitting ability.
The 32-year-old’s time with the Toronto Blue Jays came to an end last week when he was dealt to the Cleveland Indians in exchange for a player to be named later. With the 2015 AL MVP now a member of the Cleveland Indians organization he decided it was time to update his Twitter profile, which included an interesting new header.
While his nickname might not be directly related to his home run hitting abilities, he’s making it about it now as he prepares for a new start with his third MLB franchise. He also updated his avatar, which gives baseball fans a glimpse of the problems the Cleveland Indians are going to cause the rest of the league down the stretch.
Donaldson played 462 games as a member of the Blue Jays and hit 116 home runs and drove in 316 runs in the four-year span.
