Phillips said the Mets would have a pregame ceremony and present him with some tiffany. Henderson replied, "Who's Tiffany?"

Phillips said it's made of crystal. Henderson asked, "who's Crystal?"

When Henderson understood what Phillips and the Mets wanted to do for him, he wasn't interested. Phillips asked what he wanted.

Henderson wanted the Mets to get him a Madden cruiser lol
