Yoenis Cespedes plays hard. This is one of the things that endears him to New York Mets fans, and it’s why there was a metaphorical parade when he decided to come back.

Little-known fact: The words “knee to the danged chest” appear five times in the original draft of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.”
However, there is a fine line between “plays hard” and “reckless what are you doing no no no no.” This would appear to cross that line.
That is some M. Bison stuff, right there. Yoenis stayed in the game, and he caught the next fly ball without incident. The fan appeared to be fine, laughing with the rest of his section shortly after.
It could have been ugly. Instead, we got to watch Yoenis Cespedes fly into an unsuspecting fan.
An unsuspecting and calm fan.
