Mets Angel Pagan is HUGE in Puerto Rico

Angel Pagan is becoming quite popular among Mets fans in Queens, but in the center fielder's native Puerto Rico he is bigger than Lebron James and Barack Obama combined.  We took a walk around Hiram Bithorn stadium and found no less than 14 billboards of Angel Pagan selling everything from oil changes to toilet paper. 

As the latest rising star from the tiny island, Pagan has replaced Carlos Beltran in center field and also passed his teammate as the go to guy for Puerto Rican advertising agencies.  Pagan has most recently signed on to be the face of Angel Soft toilet paper in the Caribbean.

We caught up with Pagan at a local Jiffy Lube where he was handing out hats and t-shirts while signing autographs for his fans.  Pagan, who just became the spokesman for Jiffy Lube in Puerto Rico, seems to be taking it in stride.  "I was a fourth outfielder a year ago.  A lot of fans thought I didn't even belong on the team.", said Pagan.  "Now I am a star and I am cashing in baby!  In fact, for the rest of this interview you have to call me Angel Ka-Ching."

The Apple is happy to see Ka-Ching succeed and cash in on that success.  We just think he should pick and choose his endorsement jobs a little more carefully.  Did we really need this?
