Happy Father’s Day 2022

Who isn’t revved up by Francisco Lindor’s performance (especially on Father’s Day weekend, 2022) since his mother, Maria Serrano, arrived in town? Saturday’s […]

Mets In Springtime 2021: Pray4OpeningDay

My Regan MacNeil-spinning cocked head’s wide eyes landed on his face. “What was that, honey?” “Spring training starts next week,” he repeated.

Nurture the Next MetsGeneration in 30 Minutes A Day

After spending five years surrounding the Mets with the power of faith practice and prayer, it’s time to face the obvious: are we teaching the next MetsGen about baseball, too?
