Royalty is live at Citi Field for the Mets Home Opener!

View from Section 516 Row 3

The Mets opened their 50th season on the road in Florida and Philadelphia. They split the six games they played against their division rivals.

Today they open their third year of play at Citi Field against another division foe, the Washington Nationals in their home opener.

Speaking of home openers, I've seen every one since 1982. Once again today the tradition continues. It should be noted that my Opening Day streak includes the two games the Mets played against the Chicago Cubs in 2000 in Tokyo, Japan.

If you happen to be in the ballpark and you want to meet up with the King and I, please feel free to come over to our seats which are located in section 516 row 3. These are our season tickets and we plan to be at most if not all of the games throughout the season.

I hope to see some of you today and if not today then sometime during the season. Whoever pays us a visit will get a mention on my blog assuming you give me permission to do so. If you need help getting tickets to a future game please let me know.

Baseball's back let's play ball. For us Met fans, Let's Go Mets!

Ralph Kiner threw out the ceremonial first pitch.

R.A. Dickey delivered the first pitch of the game at 4:11PM to Nationals lead off hitter shortstop Ian Desmond who flew out to left to get things started on that pitch. See the picture above for the actual action shot.

Enjoy the game. After the game, Royalty is planning to have dinner at Donovan's Pub in Woodside. If you want to join us, please free to do so.

Thank you for reading and following along.

Yours truly,

Gary Herman
