First thing I want to say right off the bat: great job by MLB to finally let the Mets wear first responder hats during a major league game again on September 11th.
There’s really no good reason that MLB didn’t allow this from 2008-2019. None. And there’s no good reason that the Mets didn’t just say “to hell with MLB protocols and rules, we’re doing this”, because MLB levying any sort of penalty, financial or otherwise, would have looked bad even back in ’02, let alone now. I’m sure there are reasons, but none of them good. Now, we can discuss amongst ourselves why this was the year that it finally happened … not next season, the 20th year since the tragic attacks when the Mets are set to host the Yankees on 9/11/21, but this pandemic shortened season in Buffalo of all places. But the Mets wearing the first responder caps is better than the Mets not wearing the first responder caps. So we’ll leave it at that while we’re here.

The cliché is feast or famine.
Let's hope Jake's famines are over and he gets lots of feasts from here on out.
He sure is due Tom. Sure helps when the other team throws the ball around. Lighting in Buffalo could be better...but you know...they just put in new lights in Syracuse...just saying.
That being said, why are they playing night games in Buffalo on a Saturday? It went down to 44 here in Albany last night. I can imagine how cold it got in Buffalo last night.
Trust me... Toronto players are used to playing in the cold.
