Yoenis Cespedes' Rocketing NY Stardom Putting Big Pressure on 2016

Yo definitely knows baseball. Through that and his larger-than-life personality, Yo has also come to know what it's like to be a superstar athlete in New York.

But there's a dark side to that, you know. It's how quickly New York fame can turn into New York infamy, and the New York Mets must hope that Yoenis Cespedes doesn't come to know that too.

Yeah, I know. Sorry for being such a Nervous Nellie. But we're at that point where the possibility can no longer be ignored. Legend says that New York has little patience for big-ticket superstars who fall short of their billing, after all, and Cespedes has never been billed as highly as he is going into 2016.
