For the third time in their history, the Mets were mired in another stretch of only sending one player to the All-Star Game. And Booby Bonilla was that player. He entered in the 6th, replacing former teammate Barry Bonds in left field. He only got 1 at-bat. He singled off of Rick Aguilera, but was […]
