The New York Mets today announced they will host Hispanic Heritage Night Presented by Goya this Friday, September 17 when the Mets play the Atlanta Braves at 7:10 p.m. at Citi Field.
Goya is going to donate 20,000 pounds of food to City Harvest. If the one thing the Mets as an organization gets right is their charity work.
There will be a mariachi band to greet fans at the Jackie Robinson Rotunda.
K-Company from the Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club will entertain fans with a pre-game dance performance.
Also, Bocatabu, a Latino pop-rock group, will also play pre-game in celebration of Hispanic culture.
Mets players will also wear “Los Mets” jerseys. I can see Shannon right now gritting his teeth in anger over the “Los” Mets. I think he might hate them more then he hates the black jerseys. Would be cool to see his head explode if they wear black Los Mets jerseys though.
Also on hand will be, Tony Unanue from Goya Foods will throw out the ceremonial first pitch, and Telemundo’s Veronica Contreras will make public address announcements in Spanish throughout the game.
