Cheers emanated at Citi Field during the fifth inning Friday. They were directed toward a longtime fan favorite, though not one in a home uniform.
Cheers emanated from the Citi Field stands during the fifth inning Friday evening, a rarity in recent weeks amid the Mets’ free-fall.
“A lot of years, a lot of time [when I was with the Mets], we got booed,” Flores told The Post before The 31-year-old Flores was beloved by fans during his six years with the Mets, particularly after he shed tears on the field after being told he was going to be traded ahead of the 2015 deadline.That deal fell through and Flores remained on the roster, with the moment serving as a catalyst for the Mets unlikely run to the World Series that season.
“The way that I approach it, you can’t push it,” Flores said. “When you press and try to do a lot more than you’re capable of, things are not gonna work out. Think about a hit, you’ll hit a homer. If you think about a homer, you’ll strike out. Think small and relax. I think that goes for every hitter, for every pitcher, for every player. Just relax and let your abilities play out.”
