Juan Uribe wore a black cap with “J5U” in neon yellow-green on the front and “Papi” on the side as he got ready to leave Citi Field after the Mets’ 3-0 victory over Colorado Wednesday night. In one hand, he held an unlit cigar and in the other he clutched some sort of protein shake in a reusable cup and his iPhone.
He had just done several postgame interviews in which he grinned often, clearly enjoying himself. And why not? On the same night he left the ballpark in an Armani Exchange shirt about the same color as that yellow parakeet that was spotted at the ballpark, he had a big game.
