Put A Halt on the Handshakes for Reyes

After trying to pinpoint one of the biggest collapses in baseball history, Jose Reyes went back to the drawing board to see what exactly went wrong as the Mets stumbled towards the finish line last season. Reyes came to the conclusion that his showboating and on-the-field antics cost his team a playoff spot. The more he kept it up, the more opposing teams took it out on the Mets by retaliating against them. "I'm not even thinking about that. No more handshakes. People kept saying we got teams fired up when we did our handshakes, so now I want to focus more on baseball." This is showing maturity by Reyes who seemed to lack that his first few seasons in the big leagues. If Reyes and the Mets can put the collapse behind them, theres no telling what kind of damage they can do on the rest of the league.
