Episode Details

Bobby Valentine’s legendary dugout disguise—complete with sunglasses and a fake mustache—made headlines in 1999 when he was ejected and sneaked back into the game. Reenacting the stunt the night before his Hall of Fame induction, he threw out the first pitch at Citi Field with Mr. Met in disguise, delighting fans who showed up in matching gear. Done to rally his struggling team and show he was still in it, the stunt sparked a winning streak, a World Series run, and cemented his legacy as a bold, unconventional leader—despite the $5K fine and two-game suspension.
