The Mets went back and forth with the Rockies last night, ultimately falling behind 6-4 in the top of the 8th before tying the game in the bottom of the frame and winning it in the ninth on an RBI single off the bat of Pete Alonso to put the team up 2-0 in the series over Colorado.
Today is Old-Timers Day, and it will represent the culmination of a remarkable shift in how the Mets embrace their franchise history.
Buck Showalter is one person who is very excited about the return of this tradition.
