If you had Kirk Nieuwenhuis in your “First Met To Hit Three HR’s In A Game At Home Pool”, first off, you need to join better pools. I mean, seriously? There’s daily fantasy games on Yahoo! now. There’s no need to make up stuff. YOU have a gambling problem.
Second, you won. Because in his first three at-bats, Nieuwenhuis hit three home runs to lead the Mets to a 5-3 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. If you had asked me who the last person I would expect to hit three home runs at Citi Field in a Mets uniform … well first I would have said my mom, because she doesn’t have the bat speed anymore.
