THE List: Top 10* Embarrassing Mets Moments

Man, this was tough to narrow down to 10; the Mets have been quite an embarrassing organization. But I said 10, so 10 it will be! And this doesn’t even include all of the embarrassing trades they have made over the years, or on-the-field blunders (Luis Castillo, we’re looking at you!). Enjoy while you’re under quarantine.

Cleon Jones (1975)

Police in Florida charged Jones with indecent exposure after finding him in a van with a woman who was not his wife. If that was not embarrassing enough for Jones, Mets chairman M. Donald Grant (who basically ran the team) forced Jones to make a public apology in front of the media with his wife by his side.
