3. Noah Syndergaard: Thor

Noah

Cinderguard, Syndergard

, Syndergaard is not an easy name to spell. He’s a great player, but he’s currently hurt for the New York Mets. How dare Thor have an injury lat muscle! He NEEDS to bring the hammer as the son of Odin to the Big Apple every time he takes the mound.

His hair is glorious because he uses shampoo. That’s a hygiene trick we’re not sure Jacob deGrom has discovered just yet. He’s clearly going for that wet dog/Kurt Cobain look well all love so much. Needless to say, 2017 has not been the best of times for the Mets. That’s why New York NEEDS Syndergaard in a Thor jersey during Players’ Weekend.

Even if he doesn’t play or pitch or whatever, can’t he just be an honorary pitching coach or just take Terry Collins’ job his going to lose anyway and be the greatest player manager since Jackie Moon or probably Bill Russell?

Either way, New York would buy the you know what out of some Thor Mets jerseys. Believe it or not, there exists a lot of fans of the Mets and they NEED a Synder-Thor jersey stat. It might be a lost season for the Mets, but Flushing would never lose that new favorite jersey of theirs.
