NEW YORK — The last recollection the New York Mets have from Citi Field is losing the World Series after squandering a late lead in Game 5.
Time to make some new memories.
Eager to celebrate a scintillating 2015 season with their rejuvenated fans, Curtis Granderson, David Wright and the rest of the Mets face Philadelphia in their home opener Friday afternoon. Former pennant-winning stars Rusty Staub, John Franco and Edgardo Alfonzo will be on hand to hoist the National League championship banner during a pregame ceremony.
"I can't wait," catcher Travis d'Arnaud said. "To be in front of the best fans in the world and to be able to share a great year last year with all of them and to see that flag go up is going to be pretty magical.
