The Mets – both the organization as a whole and the players – have done more for those affected by the September 11th attacks than any other team in the area. For that, they should be proud. The team being able to wear first responder caps on September 11th won’t bring back those who died on that day. It won’t fill a void for families who lost loved ones, and it won’t wipe away the horror. What it will do, is give the Mets one more way to honor those who lost their lives. It’ll put a smile on the faces of the first responders who continue to keep this City safe, and It’ll put a smile on the faces of so many Mets fans and others around the City who lost loved ones that day. Kids who lost a parent, wives who lost a husband, husbands who lost a wife, parents who had to bury a child, and others.
So, what should the Mets do?
Screw potential fines, screw potential suspensions, and screw Major League Baseball’s thoughtless decision makers. The players need to unite and take a stand. In five days, at home on what is the 11th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, wear the first responder caps.
