The Mets have not been to the World Series in seven years, but they have a spot in this year’s Super Bowl. Some of the team’s stars were brought in for a 30-second commercial that will air twice during Sunday’s broadcast, which is usually the most watched television event of the year in the United States.
The game also signals the end of the football season, so what better time to remind baseball fans, and the rest of the game’s huge audience, that their season is quickly approaching. On Monday, pitchers and catchers can report for spring training.
