Long-suffering Mets fans are feeling pretty good about taking the 7 train to Citi Field this year; in 10 home games, the team has not yet tasted defeat.
The Mets’ run is the longest winning streak at home to start a season since Los Angeles was 13-0 at Dodger Stadium in 2009. “Streaks are fine, but we have more important things in mind,” Manager Joe Torre said then after win No. 13. “Hopefully, it’s just a steppingstone on the way to something more important.”
The next day, Manny Ramirez was suspended for 50 games for testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs.
