In 2024, the New York Mets have been making some crazy headlines. One recent incident involved a WFAN caller who claimed that Jeff McNeil, the team’s injured second baseman, was attacked by Yellow Jackets. The caller, known as ‘Brandon from West Virginia,’ said he was sharpening knives late at night to make money for Game 3 of the National League Division Series tickets. However, it seems that Brandon may have been embellishing the story.
McNeil was actually absent from the team’s games in Milwaukee and Philadelphia because he and his wife had just welcomed their second child. He is currently recovering from a fractured right wrist and hopes to return to the roster if the Mets advance to the NLCS.
It’s unclear when McNeil would have had time to be attacked by Yellow Jackets on a golf course in West Virginia while rehabbing his wrist and taking care of his pregnant wife. The caller’s story didn’t make much sense overall.
During his call with Chris McMonigle on WFAN, Brandon mentioned that McNeil is an avid golfer and claimed that he saw on Twitter that McNeil had been attacked by Yellow Jackets. However, McNeil hasn’t tweeted since 2022.
McMonigle expressed skepticism about Brandon’s claims and suggested that if someone finds themselves sharpening knives late at night, they might need help other than calling into a radio station.
this bizarre story about Jeff McNeil being attacked by Yellow Jackets seems highly unlikely and lacks credibility.
