Over in the other clubhouse Wednesday, a layer of luster fell to the floor.
The Mets are in town. That meant their assortment of young pitching stars. That also meant Matt Harvey. You remember Matt Harvey, don’t you? An All-Star starter at 24 and playoff hero who is now a bristling, grizzled veteran.
He’s had Tommy John surgery, thoracic outlet syndrome and other issues. And this week, he’s been moved to the bullpen. He was supposed to be Tom Seaver. Now, as reported Wednesday from the Mets clubhouse at Busch Stadium, he cursed at reporters who asked him about pitching out of the ’pen.
