“Alumni Classic” - Saturday September 13

[Gwreck]

I think this was just announced: the Mets are doing a pre-game “alumni classic” 3 inning game on Saturday September 13 before the game vs Texas (which is also the first series in which deGrom returns to New York).



Not quite an “old-timers” day as all the participating players are from the 1990s-2010s. Looks like a great lineup.

Well, Shea Stadium has better talent.



Noah Syndergaard is an old-timer



Josh Satin?



What about Lucas Duda?

Syndergaard was looking to make a comeback as recently as March.

The Citi Field infield is looking rough

The Daniel Muffy Precedent suggests you don't have to forsake your comeback ambitionz in order to play in an Alumni/Old-Timers Game.

Josh Satin was with David Wright at the game last night.

Lucas is currently the assistant hitting coach at Lipscomb University in Nashville. Maybe he's busy (although September is usually the offseason for college baseball?)

I don't think Amy ever made WiFeY Watch. He's got 2 daughters now!

I'm calling it The John Stearns Memorial Alumni Classic.
