NEW YORK — Kevin Plawecki was driving home from Citi Field when his phone buzzed. The New York Mets had tweeted a photograph of T.J. Rivera wearing the star-of-the-game crown in their clubhouse after a victory over Miami, and the background included Plawecki's locker — and a clearly visible sex toy.
"Somebody said check the internet, and it just kind of blew up from there," the backup catcher said Saturday. "I've got nothing to do with it, I know that. I didn't know about it. It's not mine. Nothing to do with that thing."
Plawecki said the toy was gone Saturday and he did not know what happened to it.
