New York Mets’ Jeff McNeil becomes proud puppy owner

Jeff McNeil‘s love affair began on Friday night and he had to call his wife to let her know. No, this isn’t a scandalous story about McNeil’s private life.

Rather, this is a story about the MLB’s batting leader falling head over heels for a cute puppy. The New York Met knew immediately that he wanted to adopt, but he also knew he had to run it by his wife first.

To help his cause, McNeil belted a three-run home run into right field to give the Mets an early lead.
