NEW YORK — Mets general manager Sandy Alderson collapsed briefly while talking with reporters during a news conference to announce a contract extension for manager Terry Collins but was able to walk away.
Alderson was speaking with reporters Wednesday in the Citi Field interview room when he stopped in mid-sentence and he began to fall. People grabbed him before he landed on the riser.
The 67-year-old was down briefly, then was assisted to his feet and into a chair.
"So where were we?" he joked with a smile before he walked away with other team officials.
