It was the verbal equivalent of being given a rose as the first Francisco Lindor, then Juan Soto then Pete Alonso were called to the first basis line by Howie Rose and Citi Field responded with love, appreciation and stronger, stronger.
If you were a fan of the food, it was the dream of $ 1 billion becoming reality ahead of you. Not in a distant place – whatever the park this year in Houston or in front of friends and family in Miami. But at home opening. Citi Field. A pinch there, they are really in the flesh. In dishes of the food. In rinsing.
And then the bottom of the first came and the whole crowd – 43,945 strong – completed “My Girl” while the music of Walk -Up of Lindor played, as the renewal of a party last year. And Lindor has doubled and songs of “MVP” were merged into a standing ovation for the first At-Bat of Soto. And it was before Alonso – the return hero – heard “Peete” to the hitting box and an exaltation crescendo when he rounds the bases as a result of a two -point circuit that induced the goosebumps if you were a breathable human.
Sound and fury.
