Anthony DiComo at Mets.com has a great article on Jeremy Hefner.  Anthony talks about what makes "Hef" so effective including this quote from Stephen Nogosek: "'He’s still a player, in a sense,' reliever Stephen Nogosek said. 'He understands everything we’re going through on and off the field. He’s been there. He’s done that. He’s one of us.'”

Yesterday the Mets announced a "Mets take over NYC with Amazin' Day on March 25th". "Fans who wear a Mets hat or any Mets gear will be granted access to several events at iconic NYC institutions, community-focused events, and giveaways throughout the day."
