On a beautiful spring evening in New York, the Mets hosted the Nationals and the Nationals brought their hitting shoes early. After David Peterson got the first out of the game, he gave up a single, a walk to Juan Soto, hit Nelson Cruz and gave up a two run single to the opposite field [...]
As Thomas Paine once noted, these are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot, and the fair-weather fan will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their ball club; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.
