In the colorful landscape of New York sports mascots, where Mr. Met and Billy Buffalo steal the limelight, There are those relegated to the sidelines whose tales are more tragic than triumphant.
A Kingston High School grad who spent his childhood watching the NY Mets will instead have the Hudson Valley watch him take the field as he makes the Mets Opening Day roster!
Petco Park is the home of the San Diego Padres. The stadium opened in 2004 with some 1400+ Padres home games having been played. Yet in that time span, no Major League Baseball player had ever hit for "the cycle" (a single, a double, a triple and a home run in one game), until Monday night.
According to Syracuse.com, the Mets are offering fans a chance to be at the games in the form of a photo. Submit your picture and once approved you will be converted into a cutout and placed in the stadium. The team can only have 2,000 or fewer humans in the stadium for a game so lets fill the rest with cutout!
Seriously, did the Mets organization just get the internet or something? I’m not the biggest fan of baseball but I will start just so I can hate the Mets.
