The New York Mets (32-21) welcome the Chicago White Sox (17-36) to Citi Field for a three-game set that begins on Memorial Day. These two teams will forever be connected with the Sox taking over the ‘worst record of the modern era’ title from the Mets last season. But beyond that, both are seen as the little brothers of their respective cities who, along with the Angels, make up the triumvirate of teams that average fans think of as geographically secondary.
The Mets are coming off a series win with the Dodgers, who are clinging on to first place in the National League West.
