Welcome to the New York Mets Javy Baez! Baez did not arrive from Chicago in time to wear the popular, or not so popular, black jerseys on Friday night, but he made an impact in his first game on Saturday night when he hit a two-run bomb to help the Mets fight back with a come-from-behind victory.
Like the reappearance of the Mets black jerseys, the acquisition of Baez has triggered bitter debate and has shown to be very popular with some, and not so popular with others.
