Unknown vermin in the stadium
Maybe, instead of trying to build a front office, the New York Mets should hire an exterminator.
Apparently, there are large, unidentifiable vermin that have run of the Mets’ dugout and clubhouse. Francisco Lindor and Jeff McNeil had a heated argument about what it was they saw in the tunnel – a rat or a raccoon. The idea that it was a cover story for an altercation between the two that led to Lindor grabbing McNeil by the throat is pure conjecture.
Let’s face it – it’s New York. There may well be rats the size of raccoons in the city. Or maybe it is just one elderly rodent looking for a slice of pizza to feed its four teenaged charges. There is no need for such an uproar.
But no one wants to work in an environment where they may have to fend off rats, raccoons, or other miscellaneous vermin for their food. Likewise, no one wants to run the risk of getting bitten just heading to their office. Maybe, if the Mets could hire an exterminator to take care of their rodent problem, they would have an easier time finding someone for their front office.
Was it a rat or a raccoon? Whatever it was, it may be keeping the New York Mets from finding a general manager.
