:lmao: :rotf: :lmao: :rotf: I think that is funny. I hear he's gonna selling his infamous Hummer!






This and that: Garcia's woes, meanwhile, continued during batting practice. Jose Reyes hit a long fly ball foul into the player's parking lot, breaking a window on Garcia's Hummer. Garcia also accidentally hit a fan in the head with a batted ball. The fan was not injured.


Glad that fan is okay after being hit on a head with Garcia's homer.

Garcia's day: mishaps with a homer and a Hummer, plus a visit from police

By BEN WALKER, AP Baseball Writer

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) -- Karim Garcia's day began with a visit from police. Then it turned downright bizarre, all because of a homer and a Hummer.

Garcia hit a fly ball that conked a fan in the head. Moments later, a foul liner shattered the window of his SUV.

``I've got to stay away from Karim,'' Mets teammate Roger Cedeno said. ``He's not having good luck.''


Accused of roughing up a local pizza deliveryman last week, Garcia and Shane Spencer gave statements to police Tuesday at the Mets' spring training complex. No charges have been filed.

Police are investigating an allegation of misdemeanor simple battery by Eric Vidal, 20. In his report, Vidal told two officers he wanted to pursue criminal charges against the New York outfielders because ``that's the only way they'll be forced to pay'' any medical bills he might incur.

Once Garcia finished, he went to a back field for batting practice -- and wound up in the middle of two mishaps.

Garcia sent a drive over the right-field fence, and immediately knew it meant trouble.

``As soon as I hit it, I could tell there were people standing out there. I couldn't see where it went,'' he said.

The ball struck a man, described as being in his 60s, right on the top of the head. The man somehow remained on his feet, and was treated by paramedics. He walked away with an ice pack on his head.

``I was glad to hear that he was OK,'' Garcia said.

Soon after that, it was Jose Reyes' turn to hit. Garcia was standing off to the side of the batting cage when Reyes hit a liner that curved toward the players' parking lot.

``I was like, 'Ha-ha, he hit a car!''' Garcia said. ``And then I found out it was mine and it wasn't so funny.''

The shot broke the window on the right rear side. The ball came to rest on the pavement, with a shard of glass still embedded in the cover.

``I knew I had hit a Hummer, but I didn't know it was Karim's,'' Reyes said.

Unlike many players who rent during spring training, Garcia brought his own vehicle to camp. He said he'd call his insurance company later to see if it was covered.

Garcia had one more hit later in the day, and it was one he could appreciate -- an RBI single in his only at-bat of a 9-3 loss to Florida.
