Harrison Bader on Instagram: “When I think about the 2024 Mets I dont even know where to begin. Maybe I start at the very beginning going 0-5 to open the season. Maybe I jump forward to staring at a 22-33 record approaching June. Maybe I think about our schedule down the stretch. LA to STL for the day then to COL. Or maybe to finish the season ATL to MKE back to ATL back to MKE for the Division Series. On paper this all sounds tough but as Im typing, all of these challenges seemingly start to minimize. Now Im thinking about the magic. Now when I think of the 2024 Mets I think about "OMG." I think about the concert we were all apart of in full uniform in the middle of the infield after a win. I think about the Grimace first pitch 👀. I think about the comebacks, the walk-offs. I think about the wins in must win games. I think about the fans, the energy. I think about the ZOO. I think about what a group of grown men playing a kids game chose to do with the time they had left together. Every season presents challenges but its how you choose to collectively attack those challenges as a team that defines your success. The 2024 Mets unfortunately cant hang any banners or parade down 5th Avenue hoisting up a trophy. A trophy would undeniably cement this team in history but just because we didnt get it doesnt mean none of this never happened. The days, the times, the stories will forever remain as some of the most sacred moments ive ever had suiting up to play baseball. That means something - that stands for something. I cant thank my teammates enough for the time spent, the respect and love I have for every single Met in there is tremendous. I never stop learning and listening and watching and to do it alongside you guys was my ultimate pleasure. Thank you Steve, thank you Alex. Thank you everyone - you know who you are. I wasnt just a Met, I was a 2024 Metro and if you know you know. What a gift🤟🏼💜🤟🏼”
