Omar Vizquel: Snake Hunter

Just when you thought you knew Omar Vizquel -- great fielder, lousy hitter, good clubhouse guy -- the San Francisco Chronicle finds out that he's practically the freakin' Croc Hunter. Except he's hunting snakes.
Omar Vizquel went to Venezuela this winter and caught an anaconda. If that is on your bucket list, pay attention.

"This thing is 11 or 12 feet long," Vizquel said. "You've got to find the tail and pull it out of the water and bring it to safe territory. It is dangerous in and out of the water, but you have to maneuver yourself to stay behind it. Once you're behind it, you grab it by the back of the neck.

"It's a fun thing."

And the Giants let this guy go?!

Was Jennifer Lopez or Kari Wuhrer with him on his trip?

Did he, as a courtesy, offer the captured anaconda to Sir Mixalot?

I wonder if he peed on his hands before he tackled the thing.
