This really was like a Seinfeld episode.
Keith Hernandez was really pimping on the TL and when he tried to DMs he blew it.
That is when it gets a little weird.
Eleven-time Gold Glove Award winner Keith Hernandez committed a costly error while playing the field Friday night, and now a Florida man may have to change his phone number.
Hernandez, a Mets announcer and Twitter darling, was using his preferred social medium to organize a meet-up with a Mets fan/yoga instructor from Long Island on the Mets off-day. After a bit of back-and-forth with the woman (visible to all 91,785 of his Twitter followers and anyone else with WiFi) Keith decided to switch from public tweets to private texts.
But the former All Star first baseman dropped the ball when he tweeted a cell phone number that isn’t actually his. The number belongs to man in Florida named Michael W. (The Eagle is withholding Michael’s last name. He’s been through enough).
The next morning, Michael W. woke up to more than 1,200 calls and texts from fans and gawkers hoping to connect with the 1979 National League MVP and one-time “Seinfeld” star.
Flip the pages for the funny deleted tweets. Poor Michael W.
