According to the New York Post, the New York Mets along with Borough President Melinda Katz will host a Hometown Rally at Queens Borough Hall on Monday — the day before Game 1 of the World Series.
The rally will take place between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. and will give fans a chance to cheer on the team as they get ready to compete in their first World Series in 15 years and hopefully bring the championship trophy back to Flushing.
“The World Series is coming back to the `World’s Borough.’ Congratulations to the Mets on their sweeping victory in the National League Championship Series. The Mets have done all New Yorkers proud, redeeming millions of loyal fans and even inspiring a few more,” Katz said.
“The Amazins played with true grit, determination and heart – trademarks of every New Yorker – in clinching their first National League championship since 2000. New York is united as one sea of blue and orange behind the Mets in this captivating run. Ya Gotta Believe – now Let’s Go Mets!”
The Mets were greeted by dozens of screaming fans at Citi Field on Thursday when they arrived back to New York. Several players stopped to sign autographs and shake hands with fans who wanted to catch a glimpse of the National League champs.
“I’m so excited for this city and this fan base, this organization,” Wright said. “We’ve all waited a long time for this and for it to finally come to fruition, it’s well worth the wait, well worth just everything we’ve been through these last nine years.”
