Mets Morning News: Seaver gets his statue

The Mets enjoyed their first day off of the season yesterday. They lead off today’s slate of games with their home opener against the Diamondbacks at 1:10 PM, with Chris Bassitt scheduled to face Zach Davies.

In even more exciting news, the Mets will unveil their long-awaited Tom Seaver statue, which will sit outside in front of the Jackie Robinson Rotunda near the old Home Run apple.

MLB celebrates Jackie Robinson Day today—all players will wear the number 42 to commemorate Robinson.

The Mets will also dedicate their press box to longtime PR man Jay Horowitz on Sunday.
