Monday’s 5-0 Mets win over the San Diego Padres wasn’t just a big bounce-back game for Max Scherzer — who pitched five scoreless innings of one-hit baseball — but also it apparently broke a tremendous drought for one Mets fan out there.
According to Mets owner Steve Cohen, a fan attended the game at Citi Field having previously seen the Mets lose 28 consecutive games over a 16-year span. Why this person was allowed in the stadium — we have no clue. The odds of that are pretty astounding — if not straight-up impossible. But when it comes to bad luck, we really shouldn’t downplay the extent of pain that any single Mets fan is capable of experiencing.
