Angel Pagan, as we posted, was originally in the Mets starting lineup Friday night against the Braves. He wound up being a late scratch, with the Mets saying he was taking care of personal business.
The Daily News reported this morning that Pagan's youngest daughter, Briana, who is only two, was experiencing problems with her vision.
Pagan explained:

"She started bumping into things, and having problems moving around. We were worried, so we brought her up to New York. We're blessed to be here, where the best doctors in the world can treat her."
Young Briana's problem is an affliction called strabism or strabismus, which is "the inability to focus both eyes simultaneously, which can result in a cross-eyed appearance."
The Pagan and his wife Windy have their daughter scheduled to have surgery on September 29th in NY. A bit relieved, Pagan confessed:
__________________________________________________________"She's OK, although we don't know if there are going to be other problems with her vision."

"When something is happening in your life, you can't bring it to the ballpark. If you have anything else in your mind when you're hitting up there, you're in trouble. I was still upset and tired after walking around all day, and being worried."

The Mets outfielder is glad that his daughter's surgery is in New York and while the Season is still on going. His wife and two daughters live in Puerto Rico, and will be up in NY for the surgery, and he will be able to be with his girls.
