Yes. This happened.
Yes, the Mets were up 7-1 on the Padres, and cruising in front of thousands of sun-splashed summer campers at Citi Field. Yes, despite some shaky moments from Bobby Parnell and one awful beach ball from Hansel Robles, they were still up 7-5 on the Padres with two outs in the top of the ninth, and 0-1 count on Derek Norris.
Yes. This is when it started to rain. Hard. And then Biblically.
Yes, the Mets looked incredulous as Dale Scott, the umpires’ crew chief, waved everyone off the field. Jeurys Familia stood on the mound for a few extra moments, in disbelief, as the rain began its tour through every one of the Forrest Gump rain descriptions: Little bitty stinging’ rain.
