Three weeks at home when he normally would be playing baseball has given Wilson Ramos a new perspective on life.
“It’s the first time I have spent too much time off without a job, it’s crazy,” the Mets catcher told The Post in a phone conversation this week. “At some point you wake up and want to be in the stadium.
When guys have played a lot of years and they retire, I understand why they are crying every time they retire, because it’s not easy to be out of a job for too long.”
As players in all professional sports leagues await a signal about the fate of their respective seasons following the COVID-19 outbreak, Ramos is spending time with family at his home in South Florida, playing with his three children and fishing in a lake behind his backyard.
