Think these Mets are intimidated by the Braves? By any opponent? No, they’re showing they’re ready to take on all comers. Heck, the kid in front looks like he could beat the Marlins all by himself.
OK, so they’re maybe 7 or 8 years old. They play in Northern California. Their catcher misses games to visit his grandma. But will ya look at that spunk? This is a team that acts as if they weren’t even born when Atlanta won its last World Series.
Probably because they weren’t.
Meet the Stockton Sundown Little League Minor B Mets, coached by Long Island expatriate Joel Lugo. Wright…Reyes…Bannister…now them. 2006 is a good year to be a Met and a kid. |
