Mets co-owner Jeff Wilpon accused of discrimination against pregnant, unmarried former executive in bombshell lawsuit

A woman who was once a top executive in the Mets front office has filed a blockbuster lawsuit accusing team co-owner Jeff Wilpon of discriminating against her because she was pregnant without being married.

...

Last December, Wilpon allegedly made a crack to Castergine, who was hired in 2010, that she should tell her boyfriend that when she gets an engagement ring, she would make more money, the suit says.

Then, during a discussion about whether the team should accept ads for electronic cigarettes, the Mets scion said he was as opposed to e-cigarette ads in Citi Field “as I am to Leigh having this baby without being married,” according to the suit.
...

Leigh Castergine, who was the first woman to hold the title of senior vice president for ticket sales for the team, says she was rewarded with more than $200,000 in raises and bonuses, but her career went belly-up when she became preggers last year, according to the suit filed Wednesday in Brooklyn Federal Court.

2. If this eventually forces Wilpon to sell the team

then this will have been the third-greatest day in Mets history!

But given our luck, Wilpon will just settle this out of court, and use the settlement as his excuse for investing even less $$$$ into the roster...
