Steven Matz has a deli sandwich named after him, but apparently doesn't like to order it?
Steven Matz has a sandwich named after him
Deli sandwiches are some of the finest food money can buy. They can serve as lunch, dinner, brunch, late-night snacks, breakfast, dessert, appetizers, finger foods, birthday cakes and clothing. There is probably no greater resource on Earth.
And according to Newsday's Mike Gavin, a Long Island deli has one named after Mets pitching prospect Steve Matz:
Even better, as Gavin was doing his very serious sandwich reporting, Matz walked through the door:

His buddy Jacob deGrom was also there:

But strangely, Matz didn't purchase the hero that is named after him. He ordered the Boone, which he says is more "standard."
Sure, Matz threw 7 2/3 innings of two-run ball, while going 3-for-3 with four RBIs in his Major League debut on Sunday, but this ladies and gentlemen -- this is the ultimate accomplishment: Being so good that you have a deli sandwich named after you, and then going to that deli, and not ordering it.
