PHILADELPHIA — As Todd Frazier remembers it, the call came “an hour” after the news broke last January that he was signing with the Mets.
Already, the Mets were scheduled to face the Phillies in the Little League Classic in Williamsport, Pa., on Aug. 19, and the president of Little League Baseball, Steve Keener, was on the phone extremely thrilled a distinguished alumnus would be returning.
But the excitement was reciprocal.
“Right then I was like, ‘Oh, man, we are actually going to go there,’ ” Frazier said earlier this week.
