The ability of the Mets’ pitching staff to strike out sixty-six opposing batters on their recent road trip to San Diego and Phoenix, and the subsequent 66% discount on tickets, indirectly led to field level seats for me and my Giants-fan grandpa, from which we saw the Mets fail to get a hit against the Giants’ Chris Heston.
My grandpa, born and raised in the Bronx, grew up a Giants fan and did not switch allegiances to the orange and blue in 1962.
Last night, after walking through the Jackie Robinson Rotunda, and pointing out the Dodgers photos encircling the room, we walked into the Mets Hall of Fame.
