My brother said this to me a few days ago and I think it holds true for how most New York Mets fans feel about their leadoff man: “The Mets could be down 15-1 every game but seeing Brandon Nimmo sprint to first base after taking ball four will never not make me smile.”
Nimmo has found a place in the hearts of the vast majority of Mets fans. During a horribly disappointing season in 2018, Nimmo (and his smile) was one of the few bright spots that shone: he was the Mets’ best hitter and gave fans something to cheer for.
