NEW YORK -- Callie Quinn's best friend had a prom date, but she did not.
Quinn was discussing this with her friends recently when the group came up with the idea of direct messaging the Mets on Twitter, asking if they might be able to help. A diehard fan and a senior at New Dorp High School on Staten Island, Quinn had reached out to the Mets on Twitter before, typically just to offer congratulations on a win. She never heard back. She never expected to.
But this time, the Mets responded.
"I never thought that they would answer and I never thought that I would be where I am right now," Quinn said.
