Scott Downs
Scott Downs was one of the best relievers of the late-2000s and early-2010s, posting a 2.33 ERA with a 178 ERA+ in 447 games from 2007 to 2013. His nickname, Snakeface, came from a joke by Jays’ broadcaster Mike Wilner. Callers told Wilner that Downs needed something to strike fear in the hearts of batters, that he is too ‘baby faced’ to intimidate opponents. So, he said that Scott had gotten a snake tattoo on his face. Sorry, it isn’t true, but it’s a good story. - bRef Bullpen wiki & bluebirdbanter.com
Redid this one as the smile wasn't from his mood but was just always there.
