BTW, my jersey purchasing luck is absolutely horrendous. I really need to stop. I'd say these injuries are all my fault, except it's really the Wilpons being incompetent scum for forcing players to play through injury for personal profit...

But, whenever I buy a Mets player jersey (which I wasn't really into until more recently, I was always more of a shirsey guy), they suffer a significant, devastating and/or career-altering injury within MONTHS of me buying the jersey, and in some cases weeks or DAYS.

Harvey's in 2013 right around the All-Star game (he had a torn UCL a month later, and got Tommy John)

I had an old Wright one forever, but it was getting small so I got a new one before 2015 season (spinal stenosis ending his career like 2 months later)

Syndergaard near the end of the 2015 season (early in 2016 he tore his lat and was out the whole year)

Cespedes after they re-signed him the first time in 2016 (he was fine that year, but then was out for most of 2017, and almost all of 2018 when they mishandled his Calcified Heel surgery... similar situation as Nimmo. they know he had it and needed surgery, but they activated him anyway vs the Yankees in particular (to draw ratings) and played one game and went on the DL and he's been there since. Plus the whole stepping into a hole thing).

Michael Conforto one of those cool little league weekend Nickname jerseys right before that weekend happened in 2017 (literally 3 days later he tore his shoulder capsule swinging and missing at a pitch)

Brandon Nimmo the start of 2019 (then his neck issues, as I already mentioned, again, being forced to play through injury that they supposedly misdiagnosed).
