Last week Yoenis Cespedes drove a series of luxury cars to New York Mets spring training. But on Tuesday he went for a more sedate form of transport, opting to trot to work on horseback. While dressed as a cowboy.
He was accompanied by pitcher Noah Syndergaard on a horse of his own, although he neglected to dress up for the occasion.

Cespedes has been busy on the animal front in the last week. At the weekend he took a trip the local county fair and bought a champion hog, weighing in at 270lbs for $7,000.

Cespedes can probably afford to buy a horse or two: he signed a $75m contract with the Mets over three years and will earn $21m this year alone. He was a crucial part of the Mets team that reached the World Series last year.
