Sports Illustrated recently released its fourth annual Twitter 100 list, compiling 100 accounts of the organization's favorite bloggers, writers and athletes.

While we, along with loyal Nationals fans, were probably not surprised to see relief pitcher Jerry Blevins on the list, many may not be very familiar with Blevins - let alone know just how hilarious he can be.

If the selfie he took above didn't convince you he deserved to be on the list, check out some of our other favorite tweets sent out by the witty lefty.

First up: An awesome interaction with a fan. Blevins' simple trip to the movies turned into a fantastic conversation.

@CellarmanDC true

@CellarmanDC I appreciate that. I wanted to shake your hand and say congrats on a wonderful mustache. Thought it would've been too weird

Many times, national blogs and Web sites will post athletes' tweets for a negative reason, but this one - a happy and fun encounter - was widely picked up.

Here are some other favorites, including that amazing selfie from before, that made our list of our favorite @JerryBlevins_13 tweets:

Saw @e3laroche on @theCHIVE today. Looks like his off-season is working out well. pic.twitter.com/NbRDyMfbD0

.@JerryBlevins_13 and @DrewStoren explain a Gatorade bath perfectly. But can they explain this picture of @masnKolko? pic.twitter.com/xnK9rINFuH

I asked for the Jayson Werth BEARD for the playoffs and got this instead. pic.twitter.com/mgPU4tEojy

I'm not 100% clear about the science behind a straw, but I think @starbucks got this one wrong pic.twitter.com/dvA7Aw7oOj

And of course, it wouldn't be a complete list without this tweet from last offseason, his first tweet in a "Nationals uniform."

I needed to update my avi without notice. I think it was a seamless transition. pic.twitter.com/yLXkWlh6Jn
