Max Scherzer explains logic behind celebratory chocolate syrup showers

A handful of times over the past few weeks, Max Scherzer has arrived upon the scene during a heroic Washington Nationals player’s post-game interview with a bottle of chocolate syrup in hand, with which he douses his teammate in an act of sticky-sweet celebration.

A sampling of Scherzer’s antics of late.
