I've gotten quite a few new #MetsSky followers recently (ty!!) so I thought I'd re-introduce myself. I'm Andrew, and each week I write the "Almost A Met" newsletter, where I research players who were *almost* #Mets. I'll post a few examples below, but please sub! almostametnewsletter.substack.com

A traffic stop is causing outrage, after a young man born and raised on Long Island was pulled over and searched by ICE agents. He said it was simply because he’s Latino.
