The Mets make you cling to fragile hopes

When you stare at enough back pages of The Post, you wind up with some that stick to an inordinate degree in the folds of your mind.

On June 18, 2013, the Mets swept a doubleheader at Turner Field from the hated Braves. Zack Wheeler made his major league debut in the nightcap with six shutout innings. It was also Harvey Day: Matt Harvey struck out 13 in the opener, improving to 6-1 with a 2.16 ERA.

Was “Future Is Wow!” an incautious sentiment? Perhaps even at the time we knew it was, if not for the fragility of wedding your fortunes to young baseball players then for the Mets-ness of it all.
