LaTroy Hawkins assisted in getting an unruly passenger under control on a recent flight to South America. It made me laugh to learn that he was starting a dove hunting trip, but maybe that's what tipped the scales in his favor during the great animal name purge of 2013.
Many of the Mets staff spent yesterday helping the community in a different fashion, volunteering at the boys and girls club.
Matt Harvey says he's ahead of schedule in his rehab from Tommy John surgery. Take your time Matt, and we'll see you fully healthy in 2015.
Yesterday at AA
