The commute from Stony Brook to Flushing can be a long one. Since Steven Matz will be making the drive more often, might he consider some real estate closer to the ballpark?
“Possibly,” he said with a smile Tuesday at Citi Field. “Not do that long drive every day.”
Matz, who graduated from Ward Melville High School, often commuted from his boyhood home in Stony Brook before his starts last season. But it’s the final drive home that Matz made from Citi Field, after the Mets lost the World Series to the Kansas City Royals in five games, that left him reflecting on the past and yearning for the future.
