My one piece of advice would be to go in the heart of the summer if you can — I went in late June of 2019 for the Mets-Cubs game and literally wore a sweater (see evidence below).

However, Wilmer Flores’ tears told us why he wanted to remain a Met and why he loved this team like we do. A few days later GM Sandy Alderson brought in Yoenis Cespedes and the clubhouse was infused with...
