Mets Set To Raise NL Flag Before Home Opener Friday Vs. Phillies

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — The last recollection the New York Mets have from Citi Field is losing the World Series after squandering a late lead in Game 5.

Time to make some new memories.

Eager to celebrate a scintillating 2015 season with their rejuvenated fans, Curtis Granderson, David Wright and the rest of the Mets face Philadelphia in their home opener Friday afternoon. Former pennant-winning stars Rusty Staub, John Franco and Edgardo Alfonzo will be on hand to hoist the National League championship banner during a pregame ceremony.
