The Bergen Record’s Steve Popper has the amazin’ details:
The Mets have signed Juan Urbina, the son of former major leaguer Ugueth Urbina, on the first day of international signings.
Urbina, a lefthanded pitcher from Venezuela, is the lone signing by the Mets today. His father, who pitched 11 seasons in the majors, is currently serving a 14-year prison sentence on charges of attempted murder in Venezuela.
Pretty exciting, right? If nothing else it’s a perfect opportunity to refer you to what may still be my favorite Meech and/or Classic B&C piece in the history of ever:
