Lack of In-N-Out in NYC Almost Scuttled Met's Signing

Posted by Adam Kuban, February 25, 2008 at 12:00 PM

From the New York Post:

New reliever Matt Wise almost didn't sign with the Mets because they train in Florida and play in New York—in other words, nowhere near his beloved In-N-Out Burger. "I'm serious. I love 'em that much," Wise told the Post's Bart Hubbuch. Wise is from Southern California and grew up on the popular West Coast chain's famous "double-double" cheeseburgers, which have been known to prompt 1,000-mile roundtrips by some crazed fans just to get them.

Well, a good substitute might be The Shake Shack. It's probably a little pricier than In-N-Out, but if a ball player can't afford the difference ...

My adventure was 3,000 miles. And it was definitely worth it!
