New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo is making headlines again, but for a very different (and much less serious) reason. Nimmo was interviewed by SNY’s Steve Gelbs during the team’s spring training game against the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday.
In the bottom of the fifth, Patrick Mazeika, who came in to pinch-hit for Robinson Cano and replaced him as the designated hitter, hit the ball to right field but the fielder, Rangel Ravelo, couldn’t see it because of the sun. The ball ended up dropping for a double that Nimmo hilariously dubbed a “sun ball double”.
