New York Mets fans could not have hoped for a better outcome for the first home game of their beloved team's 2025 regular season, as the Mets defeated the Toron

If all goes according to plan for the New York Mets, Juan Soto will play more than 1,200 home games at Citi Field over the next 15 years. More games like the one Friday might convince the Mets to ensure Pete Alonso remains his wingman well beyond this season.

If Soto can prompt an Apple appearance for his first time as a Met, he will author the most thrilling HR moment in a home opener since Gary Carter’s walk-off shot in 1985 in his first home game at Shea. A Soto homer on Friday would seem to be the stuff of cinema. That’s why it’s such a fun wager.
