Mets Spring Training Countdown: 21 Days

In the photo above, Carlos Delgado is congratulated after hitting a first-inning three-run home run in Game 2 of the 2006 NLCS against the Cardinals. Delgado would homer again in the fifth. Later on, bad things happened. But look how excited David Wright is! Little does he know that Carlos Beltran lurks in the background waiting to infect the team with his negative energy.

There are just 21 days until pitchers and catchers report for spring training. Three long weeks.
