Play Ball!
One of my fond memories of growing up in Queens was going to Shea Stadium to see the Mets. We used to sing the anthem (“Meet the Mets, meet the Mets, step right up and greet the Mets”) as we joyfully rode the subway to get there. I remember sitting on my dad’s lap as he taught me how to keep score of every play. I haven’t lived in New York for a long time, and my allegiance is now with the San Francisco Giants. But as the World Series begins, I’m rooting for the home team.
