In a sports century thus far dominated by preposterous self-ruin, how does this grab ya: The Robinson Cano Cup.
Especially with both the Mets and Yankees sacrificing their financial advantages by playing fundamentals-starved baseball fully invited then indulged by their GMs and managers, the Robinson Cano Cup would be annually awarded to the winner of the Yanks-Mets home-and-home.
Cano, after all, this century played for both teams, and left a lasting, media-parroted preposterous legacy: He Was Good in the Clubhouse. Yep, as if he were an indispensable towel bin.
So the plaque attached to the trophy would read: “As a member of both the Mets and Yanks, Cano jogged into groundball double plays, was twice suspended by MLB a total of 242 games for illegal drug use, and was known and celebrated for being good in the clubhouse.”
