Meet the Mets
It looks as if Jacob deGrom will lead off the Mets' World Series rotation. Dan Warthen's done a great job of teaching his pupils. Steven Matz is impressing Terry Collins. Now deGrom has a sandwich named after him at the Se-Port Deli!

Before he re-signed with the Mets, David Wright not only had to make Mets fans believers but his own family, too. Wright was confident and so was Terry Collins, who predicted this nearly a year ago. Collins is happy to get some time off.
How did the Mets get here? They came a long way and the MLB Draft was an enormous part. GM Sandy Alderson proved he's a fan at heart, celebrating with his players. Alderson spoke on the record about ownership's commitment and Terry Collins. The Post has a great look into the GM's mindset leading up to the Cespedes trade.
Kevin Long's tweaks and mindset change helped Daniel Murphy discover his power this season. Will the Mets' aggression in full counts this season work for or against them?

Curtis Granderson transformed a Chicago school with a $5 million gift.
Travis d'Arnaud extended an impressive streak for his high school, which has had participants in the past three World Series. Should Matt Reynolds get into a World Series game, he'll make his own crazy history.
