Coming off a second straight postseason appearance in 2016 for just the second time in franchise history, New York Mets‘ players and fans alike are excited about where the team is headed. They even uncharacteristically hit 218 home runs last season, good for second in the National League and fifth in the majors.
Time to start calling them the “Queens Bombers” — much to the chagrin of Yankees‘ fans surely.
But the attitude surrounding this clubhouse hasn’t always been so optimistic, and that change may be due to one man — manager Terry Collins.
