NEW YORK — - Chris Young has worn five different uniforms over his 11-year career. As a pitcher, he has been the definition of a journeyman. But as a teammate, he has as many fans as any player in the game.
“Well, if you know Chris Young, you root for him,” said Terry Collins, who managed Young with the Mets during 2011 and 2012.
“Unfortunately I’m on the other side of the field, so I don’t want to root hard for him. He’s one of the best people you’ll ever meet. He’s worked very, very hard to come off the different injuries he’s had, his shoulder, his back, but you cheer for him.
