With opening day only a few weeks away baseball fever here in New York City is heating up. The Mets and Yankees both look to rebound from disappointing 2008 seasons and get back to the playoffs. This offseason both teams addressed their major weakness from last year, the Mets signing relief pitchers JJ Putz and Francisco Rodriguez (aka KRod) to solidify their bullpen which struggled mightily last year, and the Yankees signing starting pitchers AJ Burnett and CC Sabathia to give them 1 of the best starting rotations in baseball. With David Wright and Jose Reyes leading the way again the Mets will look to overtake the world champion Phillies for NL East supremacy, and the Yankees figure to battle it out all year with the rival Red Sox in the AL East.
And of course both teams are opening up brand new ballparks this season, Citi Field and the New Yankee Stadium, so that only adds to the excitement of the upcoming season. As a lifelong Met fan and baseball fan I can't wait to check out both ballparks, they both look great and promise to provide great views of the field whether you’re in the 1st row or last row. Its sure to be another action packed baseball season in Queens and the Bronx. So give us a call at Applause for tickets to the games you want at the prices you want.
