Goldberg 'like kid in candy store' at Citi Field

NEW YORK -- Although he realized that jeans and boots were not the ideal outfit for batting practice, Bill Goldberg -- a former professional football player who earned fame as a professional wrestler -- was still impressed that he hit one to the warning track at Citi Field.

"To step out on this hallowed field, man, it's freaking unbelievable," said Goldberg, who also threw out the first pitch before Tuesday night's game against the Cardinals. "It's a dream come true. I'm like a kid in a candy store."

Goldberg, while sporting a No. 95 jersey with his name on the back, said that Gary Carter is his favorite all-time Met.
