I just read David Amsden’s profile of Mets ace Matt Harvey in the August issue of Men’s Journal magazine and wanted to pass along a couple of particularly amusing excerpts (the whole article is definitely worth reading).
First, here’s Harvey on participating in the New York nightlife and wanting to be like Derek Jeter:
“That guy is the model,” he says. “I mean, first off, let’s just look at the women he’s dated. Obviously, he goes out--he’s meeting these girls somewhere--but you never hear about it. That’s where I want to be.”
And here’s Harvey on the lessons he learned from his family:
“Dirty martinis and music--that’s the big motto in our family,” he says, describing his extended Italian-American clan as a rowdy tribe, fond of letting loose as often as possible. “We get the booze going, and the music starts playing. Always old-school hip-hop. Jay-Z. Tribe Called Quest. The Pharcyde. My parents love that stuff.”
Do you think Matt Harvey’s parents would adopt me?
