Seager and Ruiz shouting animal names at each other is easily the best pregame ritual in baseball

A lot of athletes have fun pregame rituals that they aren't afraid to show to the world, and we thank them for that.

Pre-game rituals can include a variety of things and in baseball, an elaborate and awesome handshake is one of the more common pregame rituals we see.

Kyle Seager and Carlos Ruiz of the Seattle Mariners, for example, have a pregame ritual, but it's far from common and it's one of the most entertaining we've ever seen.

Mariners third-base coach Manny Acta managed to capture the routine that the two apparently do before every game and we couldn't be happier he did.

Not only is it funny that the ritual is yelling animal names at each other in Spanish, but it's also amazing that it's like a friendly competition between the two, too.

Also, if you were following along, Ruiz says "chupacabra" at one point, but that's not a real animal.  It's a legendary creature much like 'Bigfoot', so clearly there are no limits to the animals they can list.
