Kevin Herget, a lifelong Mets fan, relished his recent call-up to the major leagues after a 12-year professional career mainly in the minors. Recalled from Triple-A Syracuse, he reflected on his childhood memories of attending games at Shea Stadium and Citi Field. After being drafted by the Cardinals in 2013 and playing for various teams over the years, including the Rays, Reds, and Brewers, Herget appreciates the opportunity to pitch for the Mets, understanding it could be temporary. He cherishes his time in the majors and maintains a determined mindset to continue playing as long as possible.
"I didn't go to a lot of games, but I went to Shea [Stadium] and Citi Field as a kid. It is pretty special."
"I've been up and down [to the minors] so many times the past few years, you never know how long it's going to last when you're here."
