SAN FRANCISCO — Away from the noise of a sputtering season, Mets Manager Terry Collins finds his solace in exercise. Collins, at 67 the oldest manager in the major leagues, arrived at AT&T Park five hours before Saturday’s game against the San Francisco Giants to jog on the treadmill.
“To have my own time when the phone is not ringing,” he said, leaning on a stack of boxes in the tunnel to the visitors’ dugout. “I just need my own space for a while.”
Life after a World Series appearance can be tough.
