An Uber driver named Jason picked up his passenger at 1050 IronPigs Way in Allentown, Pa., early Wednesday evening.
The rider needed to go about 112 miles to 123-01 Roosevelt Avenue in Queens for what would be a hefty fare during the heart of rush hour, but a necessary cost. Jason and his passenger made good conversation to pass the time until they finally arrived at Citi Field sometime around 8 p.m.
Rajai Davis got out of the car, quickly dressed into a Mets uniform, and less than two hours later, crushed a pinch-hit, three-run home run to earn a curtain call in the Mets’ 6-1 win over the Nationals.
