Back in July, New York Mets shortstop Wilmer Flores teared up on the field after hearing he was being traded.
The deal fell through for the 24-year-old native of Venezuela, but he didn't know that at the time, and his eyes welled up with tears as he manned his position in the infield:
After displaying his love for the Mets in such heart-wrenching fashion, Flores was embraced by fans. Two days later, he hit a walk-off home run.
Now close to a month after the incident, Steiner Sports has reportedly sold out of signed shots of Flores crying in the Mets' dugout, per ESPN.com’s Darren Rovell.
Some fans took issue with making money off a picture of someone crying, but Brandon Steiner didn’t see anything wrong with it.
"I'm surprised at all the fuss," Steiner said, per Rovell. "It was an emotional moment and showed how much he cared for playing for the team. We thought it was a magical Met moment that fans would enjoy."
