On Saturday, my family and friends visited Citi Field to become a official Met for the day! Once we walked in, we signed a 1 day contract with the Mets. We experienced almost everything a Mets player would do in a day, including: stretch in the outfield, run the bases, batting practice, shag balls and have a catch in the outfield. We even had a press conference and it was awesome! At the event I saw how high the home run wall actually is and how much space the outfielders need to cover out there. So for now on, if I see a missed ball on a tough play, I understand and appreciate why they missed it. 🙂 The infield was HUGE, much bigger than my little league field, but it was very cool when I connected on a big shot that made it to the outfield grass! And yes, my 1st press conference was pretty cool to. I was asked some questions about how my day was going and who my favorite Met is ( I of course stuck with Wright). Lastly, I got my name on the score board in right field, along with my brother and both my friends! It was awesome to see my name up there and I had so much fun at Kids Met Fantasy Day.
A special shout out and thank you to Debbie Presser and Pix11 for this awesome experience!

Great interview on WPIX. Awesone pictures at the ballpark. One day I will share my experience with you about my trip to the Mets Fantasy camp and actually getting to play at Shea Stadium. Mike also pitched at Shea while in high school. Really!
Looking forward to more stuff from you.
Thank you! The experience was awesome! Can I hear the Mets stories?
