Our 20-game package included Opening Day at Citi Field. Before the game Ed Kranepool who passed away last September was honored. The players will wear a patch with Ed's #7 on their uniforms this season. Al Leiter & John Franco, teammates of the 2000 NL Pennant-winning Mets and Bartolo Colón & Juan Lagares, teammates of the 2015 NL Pennant-winning Mets, each threw out the first pitch today.
Francisco Lindor led off the game with a double after the sell-out crowd serenaded him with My Girl recorded initially by the Temptations Two batters later Pete Alonso hit a two-run homer. The Mets rallied for three runs in the 6th inning with doubles by Juan Soto and Brandon Nimmo.
Tylor Megill pitched 5 1/3 innings of shutout baseball and was relieved by Reed Garrett, A.J. Minter, and Max Kranick who shut the door on the Blue Jays.
