No Place I’d Rather Be
Heading into the 2017 season the New York Mets were looking for their third consecutive playoff appearance. Their season peaked early, April 13th in fact, at 4 games above .500.

My brother and I flew down to Toronto from Edmonton Alberta, which is a cool 3,400 kilometres (2,112 miles) away, for Opening Day 2012.
