M-E-T-S Mets, Mets, Mets is the anthem heard at Citi Field and though it is simple it is the that sound that calls me back to the my beloved team. Maybe it is that simplicity that draws me back as whole since the Mets represent an earlier form of the game. A time where families could go to the ballpark and enjoy a game without taking out a loan or withdrawing their entire bank account. A time when all teams could compete on the field not just those from the big cities who spent exorbitant amounts of money on big name talent. The METS developed new talent from their farm system that wasn’t afraid to get their uniforms a bit dirty and slide head first into home to score that winning run.
Today the Mets are in 2nd place not bad for a team that has faced untold injuries and doesn’t have the big names that their cousins across the water have. They have won series against some of the best teams from last year. I know it’s early in the season but for us Met’s fan we thrill at every victory because we understand how much more effort it takes for us to achieve them. As I finish this blog the sound comes back as it did in yesteryear M-E-T-S Mets, Mets, Mets. See you in October they don’t call us Amazing’s for nothing.
