Outfielder Yoenis Cespedes gave everybody a scare in today’s Mets 2-1 victory over the Marlins.
In the eighth inning, Ichiro Suzuki sliced a pitch from reliever Jerry Blevins toward the seats in foul territory.
Cespedes was off and running and when he reached the wall he dived into the seats to try and make the grab. His body disappeared into a dozen or so fans as one of them made the catch.
Trainers ran onto the field as everyone in Citi Field held their collective breaths. But after a few minutes, Cespedes emerged a little shook up and would later say he banged up his knee and was just a little sore.
“I was trying to give max effort for the team,” Cespedes said. “I was trying to get the team a win.”
Just call him Maximus… Are you not entertained?
