Travis d'Arnaud electrified the crowd at Citi Field on Saturday night with his deep solo blast in Game 1 of the NLCS, but he did some damage to the ballpark in the process.
The New York Mets catcher dented the Home Run Apple, which resides in deep center at the ballpark, so operations staff placed a bandage on the prop ahead of Game 2 on Sunday night.
