BASEBALL IS BACK ⚾️💙🧡

The reason I like being a Mets fan is because we the Mets most resemble life. We are terrible and find ways to lose, but we never give up hope. Jimmy Breslin said it best in “Can’t Anybody Here Play This Game;”

“You see, the Mets are losers, just like nearly everybody else in life. This is a team for the cab driver who gets held up and the guy who loses out on a promotion because he didn’t maneuver himself to lunch with the boss enough. It is the team for every guy who has to get out of bed in the morning and go to work for short money on a job he does not like....The Yankees? Who does well enough to root for them, Laurence Rockefeller?”
