A three-act play about the cake the Mets gave Derek Jeter

It has trains on it. Or had.

Derek Jeter wisely announced his retirement before the season started, setting up a year of gifts as the Yankees travel the country. (The MLB opted against one huge gift bag.) As this Subway Series reaches its close, the Mets hit up the Cake Boss for the edible gift pictured above. They also gave him a subway wall tile thing.

Here’s how I see this going down:

ACT I

“Hey, thanks for the cake. This looks like a good cake.”

ACT II

“Hey, where’d my cake go?”

ACT III

It’s a tragedy.
