LOS ANGELES — Michael Conforto had spent a lot on playoff tickets last Saturday. The Mets rookie and native West Coaster was making his first playoff appearance and his parents and other family members, including cousins, had all come down to Dodger Stadium.
It was a good thing, too.
“My cousin said she had a good feeling about my first at-bat. She turned on the video on her phone, just before the pitch,” Conforto said.
The video starts with a 2-1 count and Zack Greinke delivering a 93-mph fastball and then bedlam in the Conforto section.
