Meet the Mets! It’s been a rocky road for the “ 2nd team” in America’s 1st City since, well, 2015. Even then, it was a great season only those 4 games to 1 to the KC Royals.

But there is a vibe in Flushing Queens; the Mets are coming around
and it’s indisputable the result of ‘new’ owner Steve Cohen.

Cohen, to his credit, is a baseball fan first – forget the other stuff – all owners are wealthy or they would own a team to begin with.

Cohen sits with his cohorts, chats with neighboring fans and likes chocolate ice cream during the game.

The Mets have a strong core: Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso and David Peterson to name just a few. The farm system is slowly coming back and the key will be staying the course. Cohen says they will.

Cohen last night sat among a mediocre crowd: “we need to do better at the gate,” he said during the 7th inning stretch.

The Mets blew a 3-1 lead and survived a top of the ninth inning scare.

Cohen turned to his two buddies, “we win this now!”

Francisco Alvarez… a dynamic young talent, proceeded to belt a towering, walk-off home run deep into the night.

Mets 4 Orioles 3.

Steve Cohen acted like any other fan.
