A former female vice president for the New York Mets is suing the organization. Leigh Castergine, a former senior vice president of ticket sales with claims the team fired her because she was pregnant and unmarried.
Castergine’s suit alleges that co-owner Jeff Wilpon- son of majority owner Fred Wilpon – frequently embarrassed her asking where her where her ring was and telling her she would get a better raise if she had a husband.
In addition, the suit also alleges that Wilpon that “something had changed” after she gave birth because she wasn’t as ‘aggressive’ as she used to be.”
The Mets released a statement to CNN sports in response: “We have received and reviewed the complaint. The claims are without merit. Our organization maintains strong policies against any and all forms of discrimination.”
