Uribe, who is from the Dominican Republic, speaks Spanish.

Ex-teammate Hanley Ramirez used to make fun of Uribe’s loose grip of English.

For those of u who don't know how to say convertible..let #goribe show u.

They’re entertaining even when they’re not on the field.

They’ve even got their own handshake.

They also take golf cart rides together.

The Ice Bucket Challenge? Yep, they did it.

But usually, they’re just fooling around in the dugout:

Uribe shows Ryu how to cool off with a little ice.

And Ryu shows Uribe he won’t take his bullying. *Boop.*

Sometimes their hijinks get to be a bit much.

And even if they get a little angry at each other …

They always find a way to make up.
