☀️ Good Morning:
The season doesn’t officially start until you play your first game at home.
We can call it the Home Opener, but this is really Opening Day.
A day for mothers and sons, fathers and daughters, siblings, best buddies, work friends, girlfriends, husbands, grandparents, the stranger standing next to you in the Shake Shack line, whomever you enjoy this day with.

☕️ Grab your coffee for your morning dose of Mets Fix!
