Mets’ Yoenis Cespedes drove a specialized three-wheel motorcycle to camp
Yoenis Cespedes will forever have a special place in the hearts of Royals fans.
His fielding gaffe in Game 1 of the World Series allowed Alcides Escobar to hit an inside-the-park home run in the bottom of the first inning. Cespedes also had a fielding miscue in Game 4 and he was doubled off first on a soft liner to Mike Moustakas to end that contest.
I mention that because on Tuesday, Cespedes got to Mets spring-training camp riding this:

Cespedes' ride is a custom-made Polaris Slingshot three-wheel motorcycle. It's street legal in Florida with the right license.

A Polaris Slingshot costs in the neighborhood of $25,000.
