If pitching the Mets into the 2000 World Series ever feels like yesterday to Al Leiter, he has a flesh-and-blood reminder of how much time has passed.
If pitching the Mets into the 2000 World Series ever feels like just yesterday to Al Leiter, he has a flesh-and-blood reminder of how much time actually has passed.
“My last four years with the Mets, any time I had an opportunity to bring him out … either early or after the game and play Wiffle ball or something out on the field,” said Leiter, who was misled into thinking his son couldn’t attend the ceremony because of obligations to his Double-A team. “It started early seeing my son love the game. [His birth] being the year we go to the World Series was even more special.
“To eventually get to Queens when I’m 32 years old and get a chance to play seven years for the team that I rooted for as a kid was dream-come-true stuff,” Leiter, 57, said.
