ByThis Day in Baseball

The Mets trade Vince Coleman to the Royals along with $500,000, a sum that will make up the difference between the two salaries, reacquiring Kevin McReynolds. New York’s co-owner Fred Wilpon had clearly indicated that Coleman would never wear his team’s uniform again due to the outfielder’s role in last season’s firecracker incident at Dodger Stadium, that was reported to injure three fans in the Chavez Ravine parking lot.

The Mets announce that Vince Coleman will remain on paid administrative leave until the end of the season, effectively ending his playing career with the team. Co-owner Fred Wilpon’s unequivocal decision that the controversial outfielder, who signed a four-year $11.95 million contract before the 1991 season, will not ever put on a Mets uniform again is the result of Coleman admitting to tossing a M-100 firecracker from a Jeep departing from a Dodger Stadium parking lot last month, injuring three people.
