I watched the Rangers win the Winter Classic in overtime from the warmth of my couch. If it wasn't like 5 degrees, I probably would have checked it out, but beer slushies on New Years Day didn't really spark my interest. I'm a firm believer that any reason to get to the ballpark is a good one, but if I actually cared about new years resolutions, attempting to get frostbite wouldn't be one of them. Shout out to all you guys who signed up for gym memberships yesterday by the way.
From what I read on social media, besides the frigid temps, it seemed like a pretty fun time. Sure, there were some shadows on the ice, and the view wasn't superb from all of the seats, but I think you had to expect that going in to it. The view was always going to be better from your couch, but if you're a super die hard Rangers or Sabres fan, I can't see you not wanting to be there.
Shout to @baseballparkpics for the above photo. It was a nice touch to decorate the outfield with old cabs, fire hydrants and a mock train station entrance. Pretty sure this was also the second time the HR Apple received a makeover. The first being the bandage X the day after Travis d'Arnaud's HR in the 2015 NLCS. Damn, that seems like forever ago.
Ha! The #Mets just placed a "bandage" where Travis d'Arnaud hit the Home Run Apple last night. pic.twitter.com/mbVr3bQeh0

I blew it big time not teaming up with the @NHL to turn this in to a beanie. 🍎 🏒 #WinterClassic https://t.co/NryytFpBYe

Meet up with The 7 Line Army at Royal Sands Social Club before heading in to the game on April 26th! This venue is located just across the street from the Center Field entrance at Nationals Park.
We had a magical run at The Playwright during the 2024 Postseason. Night after night the place was packed out with Mets fans and we witnessed some pretty incredible moments together. Watch the game here on Saturday March 29th!
Kick off the 2025 season at our tailgate on Friday April 4th! You don't need to be sitting with The 7 Line Army to tailgate together. Let's get the good vibes started in the parking lot and hopefully they continue until last pitch. Food, drinks, games, music and more in the Marina Lot.
