Living in Arizona now, I still catch the team every time they visit Chase Field, but there’s nothing like seeing your team at home. The Mets took the lead on a Pete Alonso double, David Peterson was rolling through the first three innings, and the crowd made it feel like a game in late September with a playoff berth on the line. Brandon Nimmo hit two of his own. Between the light shows after each homer, the fans rocking the stadium, and the unique connection this team has with the city, it’s easy to see why the Mets have an MLB-best 27–10 record at Citi Field this season.
