Got any sprays?

Yeah, in the back pocket.

-Bro.

Don't tell me you're

holding at work.

I'm not holding at work.

I'm not gonna leave it at home.

My auntie would thrash

me with a jandal.

Well, are you

using that or what?

Look at this place, man.

Yo, are you Tu kaea?

It depends.

Who's asking?

You might want to check

that attitude, bro.

-Bro!

-Brant, relax.

We didn't come all this

way to start trouble.

We saw your clip.

-Not bad.

-Thanks.

Kane thinks you have what

it takes to join our crew.

I...

I've already got a crew.

So we've come all

this way for nothing?

Hey...

Can I think about it?

Steven Charles Barr (born September 8, 1951) is a retired American professional baseball player. A left-handed pitcher, he worked in 24 games in Major League Baseball between 1974 and 1976 for the Boston Red Sox and the Texas Rangers. He was listed as 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) tall and 200 pounds (91 kg). Barr was born in St. Louis but grew up in Southern California. After graduating from Carson High School (Carson, California), he was picked by Boston in the seventh round of the 1969 Major League Baseball Draft. In 1974, his sixth season in the Red Sox farm system, he won 16 games, lost eight, and posted a 2.45 earned run average and 15 complete games with the Double-A Bristol Red Sox. Barr led the Eastern League in games won was named to the All-Star team. Boston recalled him to their active roster that September and he started the penultimate game of the 1974 season. In his MLB debut, Barr threw a complete game 7–4 victory against the Cleveland Indians, scattering seven hits and six bases on balls.He began 1975 with Triple-A Pawtucket, and was given a three-game trial with the pennant-bound Red Sox in July. He made three appearances, including two starts in which he was treated roughly. surrendering ten hits, four walks and nine runs in only six innings pitched—but only two of the runs were earned. He returned to Pawtucket, where he posted a good 2.92 ERA despite a win-loss record of only 6–12. Then, on November 17, he was included in one of the off-season's blockbuster trades when he was sent to the Rangers with outfielder Juan Beníquez for future Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher Ferguson Jenkins. Barr then spent all of 1976 on the Ranger roster, appearing in 20 games, including ten as a starting pitcher. In his first start, April 13 against the defending American League West champion Oakland Athletics, Barr threw a complete game, four-hit, 3–1 victory, striking out seven.
