Signed photos of Mets' Flores crying sell out
One of Wilmer Flores' worst moments in the majors has turned into a profitable one.
The New York Mets shortstop autographed a number of photos of him crying in the dugout after thinking he'd been traded away earlier this season. Steiner Sports, the memorabilia company that sold the photos, confirmed to Darren Rovell of ESPN on Friday that they have sold out.

"It was an emotional moment and showed how much he cared for playing for the team," Brandon Steiner said. "We thought it was a magical Met moment that fans would enjoy."
Flores was notified by fans next to the dugout that he had been traded to the Milwaukee Brewers. The trade, however, fell through as the Mets' front office decided it didn't like the results of Carlos Gomez's physical.
