"A decade ago, out of baseball following Tommy John surgery and cash-strapped, Byrdak was working the overnight shift restocking the sales floor at a Target in Chicago. He then would drive 30 minutes and sleep in his car in his in-laws’ driveway for an hour. A wakeup call in the form of a knock on the window from his father-in-law would ensue and they would get started on morning installation work until midday.

Now, Byrdak has become one of the driving forces behind the Mets’ early-season success."

In his first game as a Met on April 9, 1985, Gary Carter hit a tenth inning walk-off home run off Neil Allen to give the Mets a 6–5 Opening Day victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.

This is a story about revenge. It is a story about confidence restored, and about feeling like a kid again. It is a story about allowing yourself to smile, even though you rarely do.

Carlos Beltran and Willie Harris were talking by the bat rack in top of the ninth inning Thursday. Beltran had already homered twice, but he was hungry for Matt Lindstrom, the Rockies reliever who had struck him out on three pitches Tuesday night. Lindstrom was in there again.

“There is going to be some revenge on this guy,” Beltran told Harris.

A few minutes later, after Harris had singled - more on him later; he’s the “confidence restored” part of the lead - Beltran stepped in. We’ll let the man of the day take you inside his at-bat:

“(Tuesday) he struck me out. He threw fastball first pitch, (then) slider, slider. I just went today looking for a slider. He threw me two fastballs down the middle, ball, another fastball and then a slider.”

It was the pitch Beltran had craved. He bashed it over the right field wall.

“That,” Harris said, “was some revenge.”
