Mets Foundation Buys Full Gear For 50 Youth Baseball, Softball Teams

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Hundreds of young baseball and softball players from across the five boroughs got a helping hand Saturday.

As CBS2’s Marc Liverman reported, it was a room full of smiles and season full of hope, as 50 teams walked into Citi Field in Flushing, Queens. The Mets Foundation purchased full gear for each of them.

“I’m really excited, because we never really got this much equipment for our team and now we have like professional equipment so we can play games in our season,” said Dexter Wilson, of the New York Tigers.
