There was only one set of Miracle Mets on hand at Citi Field on Saturday. Alas for the 2019 squadron, it wasn’t them.
Further follies from the bullpen marred a night of celebration, as the New York Mets fell to the Atlanta Braves by a 5-4 final. The loss came after a pregame ceremony commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Mets’ first improbable World Series title from 1969.
