He eats "nasty soup" too.
A screenshot of an excerpt of a news article about the Toronto Blue Jays. TORONTO — A couple hours before Davis Schneider sent a high fastball over the wall for his 11th home run of the 2025 season, he ate a pre-game bowl of what his Toronto Blue Jays teammate Myles Straw calls "nasty soup." The ingredients were Reese's Pieces, blackberries, protein powder and chocolate milk, all stirred together. "I tell him all the time that you couldn't pay me a lot of money to eat what he eats," Straw says, crinkling his nose. "It's hard to watch."
