J.D. Davis and Brandon Nimmo are sitting across from each other in the Mets’ clubhouse.
“Porterhouse steak,” Davis says.
“Polo Grounds?” Nimmo asks.
“Porterhouse steak,” Davis says again.
“Bolster…” Nimmo responds. Davis can’t hold back a giggle.
They’re playing the Whisper Challenge, in which one contestant, wearing headphones, must guess what the other is saying. Nimmo can’t figure out porterhouse steak. “Sugar Díaz?” he asks. The buzzer sounds.
Davis is up next.
“Walk-off home run,” Nimmo says. “Walk-off—”
“Walk off,” says Davis.
“Home run,” prompts Nimmo.
