New York Today: Bright Days for Mets Fans

Good morning on this unjustifiably chilly Friday.

It may be only April, but the Mets’ revival has Citi Field buzzing.

A win tonight against their crosstown tormentors, the Yankees, would give the Mets a franchise-record 12-game winning streak.

Long-closeted fans are stepping out.

Moms and dads are cutting and gluing “LET’S GO METS” banners in the parking lot. Children are donning paper Batman masks in tribute to Matt Harvey, the pitcher they call the Dark Knight.

The pop star Kesha graced Citi Field this week.

And on the pitching rubber, Bartolo Colon has become a folk hero, a mobile mountain whose 285 pounds didn’t keep him from making an athletic tag on Thursday.
