Mets' Thor: Don't Blame Me For Empire State Building Lightning Strike

Noah Syndergaard, who has fully embraced his Thor nickname, posted a photo of the lightning strike on Twitter on Monday night with the message: "Dear Empire State Building: Wasn't me (For liability purposes only)."

The 1,454-foot Empire State Building is actually a lightning rod for New York City and is struck on average 23 times per year.
