I found it odd that the Mets announced this on a Sunday morning but nonetheless a good thing. And since many of you won’t bother reading this let me pull this out: Fans can participate in a charity corn hole toss game hosted by Gulf on Mets Plaza to raise funds for the ACS “Making Strides Program.”
METS TO HOST BREAST CANCER AWARENESS NIGHT
THIS WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19 AT CITI FIELD
