Fire at Citi Field Sums Up Mets' Season Perfectly

Just when you thought things couldn't get worse for the Mets, their season goes up in flames, literally.

A fire broke out at Citi Field on Wednesday afternoon in a display case, according to the FDNY. The fire department also reported that the fire is under control.

A witness tweeted that he heard a blast around 3:40 p.m. at the ballpark and saw fire and smoke shortly after the initial sound.

This fire is the latest in a series of unfortunate events this season for the Mets.

In early May, former star pitcher Matt Harvey was traded to the Reds after being designated for assignment.
