What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
This beautiful batting helmet could be yours just by being one of the first 25,000 fans to enter Citi Field on Friday night.
You may choose to buy your tickets from the Mets, or perhaps on Stubhub where on Wednesday evening tickets were available for two dollars.

To celebrate Hispanic culture, a Mariachi band will greet fans at the Jackie Robinson Rotunda and roam around the ballpark during the game, and K-Company from the Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club will entertain fans with a pre-game dance performance to help celebrate Hispanic culture.
Mets players will also wear “Los Mets” jerseys, and Robert A. Unanue from Goya Foods will throw out the ceremonial first pitch.
Also..
The Mets and Goya will also host a food drive to help feed hungry New Yorkers with Goya donating 5,000 pounds of food to promote the spirit of giving back to the community. Fans are encouraged to bring nonperishable items to the ballpark for donation at drop-off boxes outside the Jackie Robinson Rotunda that will be collected and distributed by City Harvest
All this comes to Citi on the 22nd.

James K. has left a new comment on your post “My Unpopular Opinion Of The “Piazza Home Run”“:
I have to ask – did you even watch that game? Did you see the home run happen live? How could you not be touched by that moment, especially as a New Yorker?
No one is claiming it had anything to do with the Mets winning a pennant and this seems to be your reason for downplaying it. It wasn’t about wins and losses and World Series wins that night. That home run should be #1 all time, if anything it’s underrated.
I did. Maybe it’s just my personal reaction but at the time a Mets game just seemed trivial. I did think it was cool when Bush showed up at Yankee Stadium and threw a strike – that was a neat moment…and I was at the Mr. November game which was the most exciting game I’ve ever seen in person (I was home for Buckner).
My reason for downplaying it has nothing to do with the Mets winning it or not, I just don’t see that it has any more meaning than any other Piazza home run. I guess it made some people happy for the first time in a week – but I didn’t react that way. As I said in the title, I expected my opinion to be unpopular.
On the other side, someone else wrote…
Agree completely with you Shannon. A home run does not “heal a city.” Playing that game was the great moment, the home run was merely icing on the cake that day.
Whether the Mets won or lost that game didn’t really matter. What was important that day was that the teams played, and that the people came out to watch them play.
I can think of at least 3 other more dramatic Piazza home runs: his first as a Met, his grand slam off Clemens, and the 7/1/2000 3-run shot that capped a 10 run comeback over the Braves.
