Comedian and New York Mets fan Jerry Seinfeld is getting tight with one of the club's newest stars.
Seinfeld has excitedly reached out to Yoenis Cespedes numerous times on Twitter since the Mets acquired the Cuban sensation from the Detroit Tigers on July 31. And now a bromance is budding over Cuban sandwiches.
Dear @ynscspds,
You are a great baseball player.
I love watching you!
Do Cubans really like those Cuban sandwiches?
I love them!
