The first road trip Chris Majkowski ever took with the Mets was to St. Louis. Coming off a 7:40 p.m. start time on getaway day, the plane landed between two and three in the morning. At the team hotel, Majkowski, then a newly minted engineer for WFAN, found himself in an elevator with manager Jeff Torborg. It was the first time the two had met.
“So,” Majkowski recalled Torborg asking, “what made you wanna join the circus?”
Majkowski isn’t sure how he answered.
