Page "Bobby Bonilla" Paragraph 6

In 1999, the New York Mets reacquired Bonilla from the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for Mel Rojas.

Again, his level of play did not measure up to expectations and he had numerous clashes with manager Bobby Valentine over lack of playing time.

His tenure in New York culminated in an infamous incident during Game Six of the 1999 NLCS where the Mets were eliminated by the Braves in an eleven inning game while Bonilla reportedly sat in the clubhouse playing cards with teammate Rickey Henderson.
