Felipe Alou: My son Luis Rojas is ready and won’t cheat the game

Error 0:

Rest assured Mets fans, new manager Luis Rojas is a good man who will not cheat the game of baseball.

Those strong words come from his father Felipe Alou, in his first comments about Rojas becoming Mets manager at the age of 38. Alou managed 14 years in the majors after a 17-year playing career. He is an icon in the game.

The electronic sign-stealing scandal with the Astros cost Carlos Beltran the Mets manager’s job and opened the door for Rojas.

“The man is good and I believe the baseball man is good,’’ Alou told The Post Wednesday of his son.
