A week before Scott Kingery hit his first career big-league grand slam, which came precisely one day after he hit his first big-league home run, the fog was just barely beginning to lift.
By the time he got to New York City last Tuesday for a matinee against the Mets, the only thing cloudier than Kingery’s mind was the city itself.
The Big Apple was in a blanket, the fog so thick on that early April morning, it was as if you’d have to chew through it. Felt like mid-September, the gusts of wind were so strong.
