1986. I was 5 years old when the little league baseball season started that April. My team name was the Mets. The rest is history.

2. What is your favorite Mets memory.

I have 3. 1986 world series. I was at game 3 of the 2000 NLCS vs the Giants, BENNY!! BENNY!! I was also at the 1st game back after the September 11th attacks with Piazza’s HR.

3. What is your worst Mets memory or experience?

Aaron Heilman vs. Yadier Molina or Adam Wainright vs. Carlos Beltran.

4. If you could change one off-field thing about the franchise what
would it be?

you would change?
