The Mets are wrapping up their three-game series in Milwaukee against the Brewers on Wednesday afternoon. After getting shutout in two straight lopsided losses, they’ll be happy to get on the plane back to Flushing. So will third baseman Eduardo Escobar, but for a different reason.
If we learned anything from his participation with Team Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic, it’s that he’s absolutely terrified of cats. It was constantly confirmed as his teammates kept pranking him. Now that he’s back with the Mets, maybe he thought he was safe. This only appears to be half true.
