commercials, they are just as entertaining thanks to the hilarious antics and personality of San Francisco Giants\u2019 closer, Brian Wilson.\u00a0 If you know nothing about the flame-throwing right-hander, there is a lot to take in.\u00a0 Wilson dresses like a rock star, acts like a rock star, is continually sarcastic, is a self-proclaimed genius, has the best mohawk in baseball, and is rarely serious.\u00a0 Just like when he takes the mound, Wilson wants to be the center of attention at all times: he is incredibly entertaining with his electric fastball, devastating slider and post game celebration.\u00a0 Additionally, it\u2019s quite possible that he was put on this planet for the sake of providing the most comical sound bites.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Major League Baseball <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sfgate.com\/cgi-bin\/article.cgi?f=\/c\/a\/2010\/07\/28\/SP3K1EKLC8.DTL\">fined Wilson $1,000<\/a> for wearing the loud, orange cleats that he first displayed in the All-Star Game.\u00a0 They stated that his cleats could only be 50% orange, as opposed to the 100% that he was currently sporting.\u00a0 How did he respond?\u00a0 Wilson simply used a sharpie to fill in some of the areas of his spikes to make them more presentable.\u00a0 Even though some of these videos are rather lengthy(some checking in at around 10 minutes), they are worth every second.\u00a0 Here is a combination of his self-shot videos on YouTube that have been dubbed \u201cLife of Brian\u201d, and his interviews with Chris Rose on The Cheap Seats:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:
