Tuesday Afterschool Special: Farmer Yo

Cespedes's barn

​In previous installments of this feature, I told you about the exotic cars Mets centerfielder Yoenis Cespedes drove to spring training, including his Alfa Romeo, tricked-out Jeep, and Polaris Slingshot. Well today he showed up to camp on something a little more old school:

This arrival comes just days after Cespedes attended a local county fair and bought a prize pig. Who knows what animal he'll have in tow tomorrow.
