George Foster says he wouldn’t have passed a physical had Mets asked for one before signing him

Interesting stuff from George Foster.

Foster offers an interesting caveat concerning his coming to New York in the winter of 1982, and signing his $10 million contract

“If they (Mets) had required me to pass a physical, I couldn’t have passed it,” Foster states. “I hurt my ankle during the ’79 season, and after that I had to change my swing.” (Via Utica Observer Dispatch)

George goes on to say he was rooting for the Mets in Game 6 and has no hard feelings.
