The Subway Series is underway as the Mets and the Yankees meet in a battle between two division leaders. While the crosstown rivalry has had its fair share of heated moments over the year, Tuesday’s opener also produced a heartfelt moment between Mets third baseman Eduardo Escobar and a young fan.
Before first pitch, Escobar made the rounds at Citi Field to interact with the early-arriving crowd. He eventually came across a young fan and decided to gift him a signed pair of batting gloves.
At that point, Escobar made a vow to the fan: “If I hit a homer tonight, I’ll give you my bat tomorrow.”
