I'm Keith Hernandez

Obviously, New York Met's shortstop Jose Reyes doesn't watch Seinfeld re-runs in his free time. If he did, he would know Keith Hernandez is not a man to be trifled with because he... is Keith Hernandez.

Hernandez, who is now thew Met's color-commentator, was confronted by Reyes as the team boarded their plane on Friday. He was upset because Hernandez said the team needed to quit babying the very talented but sometimes underachieving Reyes. The two did not come to blows as was first leaked, but a heated "conversation" clearly occurred.

If physical violence had indeed been necessary, Reyes would have been given a sound and complete beating by the mustachioed moniker of masculinity.

The picture doesn't lie. Chewing tobacco and dip weren't enough to satisfy the Nicotine needs of Hernandez during the heat of battle, in his heyday, so often time Marlboro Reds were called upon. Those were the days: when men were men and women stayed out of the dugout.

Here's to you Keith Hernandez.
