On this the 21st anniversary of the September 11th attacks, the outcome of a single baseball game means little in the grand scheme of things.
For this chapter of New York Mets baseball, though, a team who just collected their 89th victory of the season following years of being marked as baseball’s organizational jesters, issuing a 9-3 drumming of the Marlins, that initself bears some mention of significance.
Sitting atop the NL East with less than a month of play to go, the Mets are in the midst of authoring one of the more memorable season’s in the franchise’s 61 season history.
