There’s a tradition in baseball New York Mets fans know well. Every Opening Day, the team wins. It’s just a fact.
Well, sort of. The Mets aren’t invincible on Opening Day. However, it’s pretty much their one day to relish in victory ahead of time.
A win on Opening Day is akin to getting off to a lead in the first five steps of a marathon. It’s great to get ahead of everyone else. It also holds little weight when you cross the first mile.
