We Mets fans are use to hearing Keith Hernandez refer back to his days of playing Strat-O-Matic baseball as a teen. He mentions the game when lauding a great defensive player saying things like “this guy’s a definite ‘1’ in Strat.” But if an outfield messes up consistently he’ll label him a “4”. The well [...]
The Mets had their three-game winning streak snapped as they fell to the Dodgers, 3-2, Tuesday night in Los Angeles.
