Harvey initially thought DeGrom was a woman

Jacob deGrom's long locks have made him the envy of many, and apparently caused some confusion with one of his New York Mets teammates when he was first called up to the majors in 2014.

Appearing on "Late Night with Seth Myers" on Wednesday, Matt Harvey recanted the first time he saw DeGrom and how he initially thought he was a woman.

"When he first got called up we were locker mates," Harvey explained. "I would walk into the locker room and - people are allowed in at certain times - but walking into my locker thinking that I can do what I want to do and then seeing just hair over the back of the chair. I was getting a little concerned that there was a lady sitting next to my locker. He's got good flow."

In October, DeGrom threatened to cut off his long hair as he claimed it was "driving him nuts," but later opted to maintain his signature look.
