We pause today, as we do every June 9, to remember a classic episode of baseball shenanigans.
Yes, it was 17 years ago today — way back in the 20th century — that Mets manager Bobby Valentine donned a silly and unconvincing disguise so he could return to the dugout after being ejected for arguing a weird catcher’s interference call.
Valentine got the heave-ho from home plate umpire Randy Marsh in the 12th inning of a game against the Blue Jays, only to return a few minutes later with glasses and a fake mustache. Have a look.
