Bobbly Bonilla day, explained: Here’s why MLB fans celebrate the former All-Star every July 1

Bobby Bonilla. Baseball’s master of finesse.

Bobby Bonilla is the finesse king, folks. This man hasn’t played baseball in over two decades at this point. Yet he is still being paid by the New York Mets.

That’s how you do it, folks. That’s why today is Bobby Bonilla day.

This is the day that everyone pauses for a second and laughs at Mets for agreeing to something this silly. The team still somehow owes Bonilla millions of dollars in deferred money more than a decade after they’d started paying him again.

If you’re confused about why this is a thing, don’t worry. We’re breaking it all down right here for you.

Here’s why we all celebrate the king of finesse, Bobby Bonilla.
