Ex-Mets SS Ruben Tejada making highlights in World Baseball Classic opener

The World Baseball Classic officially began on Tuesday night. Even though it’s still the beginning of March, we’ve got some meaningful baseball to watch, folks. This is also an opportunity to see current and former Mets players in action. That includes some certifiable legends like infielder Ruben Tejada.

I use the term “legend” loosely, and I certainly wasn’t expecting him to be providing numerous highlights right out of the gate. Tejada is playing for Team Panama, who is facing Chinese Taipei in Pool A.

As I sit here writing this, Panama is leading 11-2 in the bottom of the sixth inning thanks to two different frames with at least five runs.
