Robert Gsellman is faster than Noah Syndergaard on foot and on scooter
Mets pitchers Noah Syndergaard and Robert Gsellman have long had an amusing friendship. Syndergaard has sabotaged Gsellman's interviews, and he loved when Gsellman used the bullpen cart in Arizona earlier this season. Their latest adventure has been a trip to Europe, including a stop at an English Premier League game in Liverpool. However, as with any good friendship -- especially between professional athletes -- there is always a little competition involved. And when the two pitchers took a recent scooter ride around town, Gsellman made sure everyone knew who was superior:
