Every great baseball season has that guy. Not the guy you bought the jersey for in March. Not the guy on the billboard. Not even the guy your fantasy team overdrafted while you were distracted by a chicken parm hero. I’m talking about that guy the one who shows up somewhere between Memorial Day and your first sunburn, shrugs, and somehow becomes part baseball player, part good luck charm, and part “how did we ever win without him?” In the 2024 season, for the Mets, that guy w

It just feels really optimistic.” That optimism lives

There was a time when Craig Kimbrel entered a baseball game and opposing hitters immediately started thinking about their families. They wondered if they had said I love you enough. They wondered if this was how it ended. That Craig Kimbrel was a menace.
