- Mindy Bell asked several Guardians players what they tell Uber drivers who ask what they do for a living (side story: my fiancé used to work at a high-volume Lululemon store in the D.C. area, and when Howie Kendrick came in as a customer she asked him what he did for a living — knowing he was Howie Kendrick but just curious what he would say — and he said he was a “coach” without elaborating further).
