Beltran's Return Will Mark Debut Of New Body Brace

The Mets are taking no more chances with Carlos Beltran.  When the center fielder returns in the coming weeks, he will be playing with the aid of a full body brace specially commissioned by the team.

The brace, designed by Detroit based company Omni Consumer Products, will allow Beltran to play without fear of any injury.  In fact, the slugger has had to learn to reel in the power of the suit.  During a rehab game Beltran broke the arm of a teammate during a routine high five. 

Despite the minor setback.  Omni Consumer Products thinks they are on to something.  VP Dick Jones explains, "Imagine if you will a 24-hour a day center fielder.  A player who doesn't need to eat or sleep.  This will be the future of baseball."

If the suit works out the Mets plan to have Pedro Feliciano use one next.  When we asked him what he thought of the idea, Pedro simply told us, "I'll buy that for a dollar!"
