Two cases of MLB All-Stars flying under the radar have occurred over the past two days in New York. The first involving the NL All-Star starting pitcher Matt Harvey.
With the help of talk show host Jimmy Fallon from NBC’s “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon", Mets’ right handed pitcher and starter of the All-Star game Matt Harvey conducted a little social experiment on the streets of New York.
Harvey went around dressed in street clothes and asked Mets fans what they thought of Matt Harvey and the results well, they were pretty great.
Obviously the best reaction in the whole video is the last kid. Completely blasting Harvey to his face about how he “still needs to prove himself” because it has not been a whole season, just the epitome of a skeptical Mets fan.
Also, Harvey is totally a little insulted by what the kid says and takes some offense to it. Definitely gives the, “Bro I’m starting the All-Star game,” look to the camera.
Tough life lesson for the kid, just walking around the street one day minding his own business and the next he is insulting one of his favorite players to his face. Not going to be easy for him to come back from that one.
Rookie stuff really from the Mets fans here, step your game up Mets fans, step your game up.
Overall, great video and worth a few good laughs.
Now, when I first saw this video I thought no way this ever happened in Cincinnati or Cleveland. I mean Reds and Indians step out on the town and have to be recognized by everyone right?
Then, Jason Kipnis had to go and prove me wrong with this tweet:
Off to a good start so far... One of the MLB helpers from Cle said "it's an honor to have you here Mr. Swisher" #sotheresthat

To say I’m disappointed might be an understatement. Absolutely cannot get Kipnis and Swisher mixed up like that, just a mistake that can’t happen.
Just so it never happens again.
Here’s Swish,
And here’s the JK Kid.
Now that we got that cleared up let’s play some baseball tonight!
