Today the Mets Madness tournament begins on the Rising Apple Twitter page. This offseason bracket tournament to determine the favorite New York Mets player debuts in its first week with four play-in matches followed by three battles from different decades.
On December 1, we dip into the 00/10s bracket where Joe McEwing and Steven Matz battle for the number 11 seed. I’m giving the edge to Matz because of his current presence on the team. I suspect many current Mets will have an edge over the competition.
December 2 includes another play-in with Endy Chavez and Billy Wagner up against each other for the 15 seed in the Overflow bracket.
