Cool It, Luis Castillo


The Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, built in 1982 and home to the Minnesota Twins, is a steady 65 degrees covered by a 10-acre roof of Teflon-coated fiberglass, 1/16" thick.

Then, there's that pesky turf everyone and their mom complains about.

Little did former Twins second baseman Luis Castillo know, he would have to get used to playing in the National League heat.

The new Mets middle infielder left Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs in the top of the eighth inning with heat exhaustion.
