1. Exhibition baseball games and in-game manager interviews are two of the most useless things in sports. However, there was an exception to this rule yesterday. (I know this isn’t a “rule,” but just go with me here.)
During Sunday’s Mets exhibition game airing locally in New York, SNY reporter Steve Gelbs quizzed the team’s new manager, Buck Showalter, about his memorable Seinfeld cameo.
The impetus for the conversation was to compare Showalter’s appearance with Keith Hernandez’s legendary guest-starring role on the series since Keith was calling the came for SNY.
Showalter complained about how he gets taxed on his royalty checks and that it costs him $19 every time his episode “The Chaperone” airs.
