Remember the New York Met: Mike Baxter, ‘The Pride of Whitestone’

Error 0:

For a few days in May 2013, former New York Mets outfielder Mike Baxter, “The Pride of Whitestone,” lived out a Hollywood story.

It was May 7, 2013. Against the Chicago White Sox, Matt Harvey pitched nine scoreless innings, struck out twelve, and allowed only an infield single to Alex Rios. But the New York Mets couldn’t score either, and the game went to the tenth.

Bobby Parnell pitched a scoreless inning. In the bottom of the frame, Ike Davis led off with a walk. Juan Lagares bunted him to second.
