New York Mets – Mike Janela

Meet the Mets

Mets churros

It’s been a crazy spring for me personally (was best man in my brother’s wedding, traveled to Israel for a best friend’s wedding, sold my house, moved into a new apartment — and that was just March!), and now I’ve got some big news professionally.

Growing up a New York Mets fan, I’m so pumped to announce I’m joining the team this season as a gameday host. You’ll see me at every home game on the Citi Vision board, doing everything from eating churros pregame to asking fans trivia questions between innings.

Can’t begin to explain how excited I am to be back in the big leagues after a couple seasons, so make sure to say hi if you see me at the park!

If you’re curious, Wally Backman did not make the list.

This is the Thirstiest Group of MLB Playoff Teams We’ve Seen in a While

Thanks to teams like the Cubs, Blue Jays, and my dear Mets, this year’s MLB postseason has a lot of teams breaking playoff droughts.

When you add that to the World Series dry spells a lot of these teams are on, it’s shaping up to be a bunch of desperate squads playing this postseason. Watch the video to find out just how desperate.
