Back when the Mets had Old Timers Day in the 1970s, they would have people from other teams be honored that day because the franchise didn’t have enough history to field two teams with enough stars on both squads.

After Jacob deGrom failed to hold a three-run lead, two guys barely holding onto a roster spot came up big and helped lead the Mets to a 7-3 win over the Pirates and a sweep of the four-game series. Joely Rodriguez has been the subject of ridicule more times than not this year but he [...]
