PORT ST. LUCIE — You never know who you will find at a Mets’ spring training game. A football player like Tim Tebow could be in the outfield, or a basketball player may be working behind home plate.
It is a regular “Whatever happened to …’’ experience at First Data Field.
There, directly behind home plate in Section 101, is a tall gentleman doing a fantastic job as an usher for the Mets, the perfect combination of friendliness mixed with authority.
That usher is Steve Mix, who played 13 years in the NBA, mostly with the Sixers, and was roommates with the legendary Julius Erving for seven of those years and an All-Star in 1975.
