Ruben Tejada wasn't able to play in the National League Championship Series against the Chicago Cubs after a Chase Utley slide fractured his fibula in the NLDS.
But the shortstop wanted his teammates to know that he appreciated their efforts - despite his absence - in their run to the World Series, by offering each member of the team a classy gift.

The engraved bottle features the message "Keep Walking," which may not be doable for the Mets if they partake in the gift too heavily.
New York is set to square off against the winner of the ALCS when the World Series gets underway on Oct. 27.
