MLB Rookie Still Can’t Believe The Sunflower Seeds Are Free

NEW YORK-Saying that it was truly sinking in that he had finally made it to the big leagues, New York Mets rookie Carson Benge told reporters Friday he still couldn't believe the sunflower seeds in the dugout were free. It's honestly insane-you can just take them. As many as you want. Nobody says a word, even if you grab the flavored ones," said the first-year outfielder, shaking his head in disbelief as he stuffed several fistfuls of ranch-flavored seeds into his uniform pockets and marveled that these would've cost six or seven bucks at the gas station." Back in the minors, if you wanted sunflower seeds, that was your problem. Here, they've got boxes of them just sitting out like some kind of king's banquet. Every day, I still find myself asking, You sure these are for us? You sure I don't have to pay anyone?' But we don't have to pay a cent. I'm truly living the dream." According to sources, Benge's awe at the perks of major league life was tempered somewhat after he received a $130 clubhouse invoice for the Gatorade he drank last month.
