J.J. Putz gets pied on his birthday at D-Backs FanFest

For the better part of the last four years, former D-backs closer J.J. Putz has had fun at the expense of D-backs PR staffer Jim Myers.

Putz has hid under Myers' desk to scare him, jumped out from around corners and just last week, he scared Myers so badly that he fell down to the ground.

Sunday, Myers got his revenge at the D-backs' annual FanFest.

It was Putz's birthday and, in his new role as special assistant, he was up on the main stage hosting a Q&A session with Aaron Hill, A.J. Pollock and Paul Goldschmidt.

As the crowd began to sing "Happy Birthday," Myers snuck up behind Putz and hit him with a pair of shaving cream pies.

"That's the first time I've been pied," Putz said. "Many have tried it over the years, but that's the first time."

You would think that, at worst, the prank made things even between Myers and Putz, but not so much.

"I'm going to get him back," Putz said. "I know all these other [PR] guys were in on it too. I'm going to get them all."
