There's a lot that goes down in the SNY broadcast booth beyond the New York Mets and baseball. Much of that has to do with Hadji.
Hadji is Keith Hernandez's 18-year-old Bengal cat and he lives a lavish life even GQ wanted to profile. Hernandez is obsessed with being a cat dad and on Tuesday night a snafu at home got in the way of the Mets' first home run of the season.
In the fourth inning of a tie game with the Philadelphia Phillies, a wind chime ring tone went off in the booth as Dom Smith came up to bat. Gary Cohen asked what the noise was and Hernandez exasperatingly explained it was his iPad going off.
"I have a slight emergency at home, that's what it is," Hernandez said. When Cohen immediately asked if Hadji was OK, Hernandez said everything was fine and launched into the deal.
