The Mets will finally unveil their long-awaited Tom Seaver statue on Friday.
All indications are it will not disappoint.
The statue ceremony will be held at 10:30 a.m. before the Mets’ 1:10 p.m. home opener against the Diamondbacks at Citi Field. Seaver’s widow, Nancy, and daughters Sarah and Anne will be in attendance. Mets owner Steve Cohen and Mike Piazza have also been announced as guests.
The statue will stand next to the Home Run Apple. And it will be massive.
From the Mets:
The statue of Tom Seaver features his iconic drop and drive delivery and is two times life-size to scale.
