KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The New York Mets arrived in the Big Apple late Tuesday after a season-opening split in Kansas City. Now they will have to wait two more days for their home opener.
After enjoying a full day off, the Mets will receive their National League championship rings in a private ceremony and work out at Citi Field on Thursday. They finally entertain the Philadelphia Phillies at 1:10 p.m. ET on Friday.
Rusty Staub, John Franco and Edgardo Alfonzo will help raise the NL championship banner during a pregame ceremony. Members of the cast of Broadway's "Hamilton" will sing the national anthem, followed by an NYPD helicopter flyover.
