With the Michigan baseball team using the Mets’ facility the next couple of days, principal owner Fred Wilpon wore the cap of his alma mater as he watched Friday’s workout. Minaya also had a Michigan cap on, and the Wolverines were getting VIP treatment. “I was wondering why we got kicked off the main field,” David Wright said, looking at Wilpon’s hat. “Now it all makes sense.”
Wilpon said he was looking into setting up an exhibition game with Michigan maybe next year.
