Savvy fans didn't need a reminder, but they got one Tuesday when the New York Mets outfielder cracked three home runs in a 14-4 drubbing of the Philadelphia Phillies.
It was the second three-homer showing of Cespedes' Big Apple tenure, making him the first Mets player to accomplish the feat.
He also became the second-fastest player to reach 50 homers with the Mets. The 197 games it took him to reach the milestone put him between Dave Kingman (164 games) and Mike Piazza (208 games), per ESPN Stats & Info.
