The New York Mets, tired of being one of the worst teams in baseball, are keeping their fingers crossed that this season is wiped from the record books.
“Our fans are disappointed that we’re more than 20 games back in the NL East,” said leftfielder Jason Bay. “Well if Hurricane Irene takes out our stadium, I’m pretty sure the season wouldn’t count.”
While a disqualified season would definitely boost city morale, some Mets fans are hoping for more.
“Not having a losing record for once would be nice,” said Larry Parra, a longtime Mets fan. “But I’m kind of hoping this storm takes out our entire pitching staff.”
