Mets Debut: Where were you when Jacob deGrom pitched his first MLB game?

Baseball is one of the most unique sports. You truly never know what you will see on the diamond from game to game. You may see a veteran add to his future Hall of Fame legacy or you may see a rookie collect his first hit. There are also those days when a New York Mets pitcher steps on a big league mound for the first time a few years before winning a Cy Young.
