Joe Musgrove’s ears were the center of attention on Sunday during Game 3 of the NL Wild Card between the New York Mets and San Diego Padres.
Amidst Musgrove’s stunning Game 3 performance, MLB fans and Mets manager Buck Showalter were becoming increasingly paranoid about the pitcher’s unusually shiny ears. So much so that Showalter had the umpires check Musgrove’s ears for illegal substances in the sixth inning with the Padres up 4-0.
