DUNEDIN, Fla. — Wednesday was a rare dreary day along Florida’s Gulf Coast. So looking to lift his teammates’ spirits during their workout, catcher Caleb Joseph decided to put on an impromptu performance on an improvised drum set.



Some overturned buckets, a few tripods and some disc cones as makeshift cymbals would have to do. With baseball bat knobs as drum sticks, Joseph started to jam to the music of the legendary Canadian rock band Rush.



Soon enough, his teammates, who had gathered around for the show, were clapping along, smiles on every face.



Mission accomplished, as they say.



“I had quite a few folks tell me that was exactly what they needed on that rainy day,” Joseph said inside the Blue Jays clubhouse a day later.



If you’re thinking to yourself, his air-drumming in that video looks mighty precise, that’s because Joseph knows how to play the drums.



And Rush is his all-time favourite...
