Cespedes, Syndergaard arrive at Mets camp on horses

Cespedes made waves last week while showing up with a new customized vehicle for six straight days, but he veered course Tuesday by trading in a sports auto for a horse. His latest investment doesn't quite flaunt that type of spending power and his most recent mode of transportation doesn't sport as much horse power. The slugger, who was supposed to attend the fair on Saturday night with some teammates, ended up going alone after traffic deterred other Mets players from making the long trip. But dressing up as a cowboy and buying a hog at a fair takes the cake.

Please note that Cespedes is properly dressed for the occasion - be-plaid-ed and with proper headgear - while Syndergaard nearly appears to be wearing one of those batting helmets from which you drink beer through a straw that's as long and tortured as seven different articles on how Yoenis Cespedes arrived at his place of business.

Additionally, the proceeds from the auction went toward the 4-H club, so Cespedes' purchase went a long way.
