A Mets fans' embarrassing Cole Hamels photo gallery set to music from 'Les Miserable'
Pretty much exactly how it sounds.
A Mets fans' embarrassing Cole Hamels photo gallery set to music from 'Les Miserable'
Justin Klugh, Assistant Sports Producer
Sam Maxwell, proprietor of the Mets blog Converted Mets Fan, has put together a video slide show of Cole Hamels' less flattering moments with help from baseball writer Ted Berg. Being a Mets fan, Sam has taken a particular sense of glee in putting them all in a row like this and backing them with music from "Les Miserable."
But, being a Mets fan, his team is probably the most comparable to a musical about life in an endlessly wretched, demoralizing state. So this brief ray of sunlight is permissible. And in Sam's defense, he has selected Hamels as the NL's 2013 Cy Young winner.
Also, it's sort of Cole's fault for, you know, doing these things.

Yeah, really embarrassing: a World Series ring and MVP trophy; a smoking-hot wife; an annual salary of $24 million. How will he ever face the public again?— snj7195- The other two Mets fans please step forward— stoky
- Hmmm.. aside from some of the fashion show photos I'm not sure what is embarrassing about most of the pictures. And the fashion show was for charity so you have to give him a pass for that... I'm sure he didn't pick out or put together the outfits. If this is what Mets fans consider making fun of someone, it's a good thing they never went to any Philly area schools. Our Nerds probably would have had them crying by lunch.— Tiller
- All I see on this slide show is the best young pitcher in the NL.— dasher
- Didn't even bother looking at the video..why? All I need to see is what happens on the field/mound. If Sam follows sports to critique fashion or lack thereof well then he's in the right city. NYC with all the fashonistas and wannabe sports fans. Looking at the state of the Mets Sam is lucky to have another passion to carry him through the summer.— glove69
- I must have missed the embarassing stuff. Even the at the "fashion" show, he was just having fun with it. So, on to embarassing stuff. How 'bout those Mets?— chamels
- Speaking of embarrassing, how many people at philly.com read this article before posting it with "Les Miserables" misspelled twice?— 1980
- Very nice photos, really. Rooting for Mets obviously results in severe cognitive degeneration.— Atteetood
- What is so embarrassing about it? Cole Hamels has everything going for him including,hopefully, a Cy Young award. Seems more like jealousy to me.— Marie Elena
- You have to admit that Cole is very effeminate...— APhillyDump
- Why don't you ask Bryce Harper how effeminate he felt Hamels was when he drilled his lower back? And the guy Hamels tuned up when he hurt his arm during a minor league barfight? Gonad-less idiot. — Bob1
- Sam Maxwell has:
1)a man-crush on Cole and
2)too much time on his hands.
Now, that combination IS embarrassing. GAL Sam.— 24sDad - This just confirms what I've always suspected: God, it SUCKS being a Mets fan!— bmack
- APhillyDump, I would pay big money to see you walk up to the effeminate guy and tell him so. I'm sure a big, masculine man like you would fare well.— COskier
- Whatever Hamels looks like, it'll be a joy watching him eat the Mutts alive this season. He (and all the guys) do need to skip that fashion show fundraiser, though. Not flattering for anyone concerned.— Tedyuscung
