Yoenis Cespedes has a Festivus, and the rest of us should just enjoy it

The next ride Yoenis Cespedes drives to Mets camp should be a clown car, because he’s brought the circus to Port St. Lucie.

This is not on the Mets’ star outfielder. He has, to this point, done nothing even bordering on wrong. Fresh off signing a three-year, $75 million contract, Cespedes has driven to spring training in a pickup truck, a three-wheeled Polaris, a fire-spewing Lamborghini and a flashy red Alfa Romeo. On Wednesday, he gave the keys to the Lambo to a Mets staffer to go buy a waffle maker at Target.

It’s all good fun that doesn’t hurt anyone at all — and the staffer who made the Target run has an experience to remember forever.
