Adds another incident I was not aware of…

In April 2006, when Bernazard was asked to identify himself in the visiting clubhouse of a minor-league team in Lakewood, N.J., he refused to respond and went toe-to-toe with an employee whose job was to keep strangers out of the clubhouse. After the attendant finally asked if Bernazard was the “bus driver” for the Mets’ minor-league team, Bernazard launched into a tirade and called the employee a “stupid f. You stupid m.f.”

The minor-leaguers Bernazard oversaw lived in fear of losing their jobs because they were constantly told they were disposable. How do I know? They told me.

Their parents told me. Others in uniform at the various levels of the Mets told me. Scouts who observed instances told me. Minaya did not identify one piece of inaccurate information in any of The News’ stories.

Monday, after learning about what had happened at the press conference, one of the whistleblowers in the Binghamton incident summed it up best: “You didn’t get Tony fired. Tony did. Don’t let them take the focus off that.”
