It takes a big man to clobber a grand slam and lead the New York Mets to victory in their first week with the team. It takes an even bigger one to apologize to the first for doubting his abilities.
When the Mets signed first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, I had my doubts. I still do, but my convictions about how bad the signing was have wained. He’s proving me wrong often, making a case to help the Mets regularly in 2018.
So, before we get into the meat of my apology, let me tell Gonzalez that I am sorry.
