There was no anger. No vitriol. None of the animosity seen on social media.
Brodie Van Wagenen sat with Mets fans for the first half of Tuesday’s 4-2 Subway Series victory over the Yankees, and was treated like a conquering hero. He was greeted with hugs, photo requests and some suggestions, but the Mets general manager wasn’t challenged despite the team’s shaky status and his bold offseason predictions.
Making good on a February promise, Van Wagenen sat with The 7 Line Army — a traveling group of Mets fans dressed in orange jerseys — in right-center field for 4 ¹/u2082 innings.
