Read: It Must be the Shoes
Last off season, Jose Reyes signed an endorsement deal switching him from wearing Nike cleats to a new line from Under Armour.
In a must-read report for Newsday, David Lennon wonders if the new shoes may have been the initial cause of Reyes’s injuries in 2009.

“For someone with a long history of hamstring problems, it seems that a custom shoe should have been mandatory,” writes Lennon.
