NEW YORK -- Michael Conforto made an emotional return to Citi Field as a visiting player Friday night and held out hope he could play in at least one game for the San Francisco Giants during their weekend series against the New York Mets.

The video included footage of Conforto meeting with children benefiting from his charity, the Conforto Cares Program, and ended with the words "for the love, for the passion, for the moments, thank you Michael.
