The date is August 25, 2015. The New York Mets are squaring up against the Philadelphia Phillies at their stomping ground, Citizens Bank Park. The leadoff man, donned in the Metropolitans’ blue and orange, shuffles to the plate to begin the second inning. He is met with emphatic applause by fans; some made the trek to the City of Brotherly Love solely to witness him in action. Adam Morgan serves him the 1-1 pitch. An inmistable crack resonates from the barrel of the bat as the baseball is launched into second-deck seats.
