When the playoffs are on the line, you have to pull out all the stops.
The New York Mets, currently tied for the final National League wild-card spot, are looking for any bit of fortune they can find to push their squad over the finish line. So with 13 games remaining in the regular season, an old friend is returning to Citi Field.
