Beltran Takes Severe Action Against "Nosy" Niese

New York Mets pitcher is just too damn nosy.  That was the opinion of his former teammate, St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Carlos Beltran.  Beltran was so fed up with it he took severe action to make it stop.  He paid for Niese to have a nose job.

Back in July 2011, before Carlos Beltran was traded to the San Francisco, Beltran offered to pay Niese to get a nose job.   In October, Niese took him up on his offer.

"He wanted me to have a new nose," Niese said about Beltran. "So he offered to pay for it. I was just like, 'All right.' Then it turned into seeing doctors and to getting it fixed."

Niese says he's happy with the results, although it looks about the same.  One benefit he didn't expect from the rhinoplasty is improved breathing through his nose. 

Not only did Niese report to Mets Spring Training with a new nose, he's 10 pounds lighter. 

Talk about a successful surgery! It probably was worth chasing him through two states to collect from Beltran.
