Marcus Stroman is the anti-George Costanza. While the Seinfeld character zigs, the right-handed pitcher zags.
Unlike George, who selfishly clings to Mickey Mantle’s number as his eventual first born’s original name, Stroman sacrifices.
On Friday, the New York Mets starter announced he’ll be changing his number out of respect for Jose Reyes.
Grew up watching the passion and energy of @lamelaza_7 at Shea Stadium. Also, loved playing with him. With that being said, I don’t feel right wearing his number because of the incredible career he had in a @Mets uniform.
