The National Baseball Hall of Fame announced on Tuesday that one of the Mets' "OMG" signs will be put on display in the "Your Team Team Today" exhibit in Cooperstown, New York.

10/18/24	Carlos Mendoza's hunch to start Jeff McNeil pays dividends for Mets. It wasn't so much Jose Iglesias chasing pitches as missing a couple in the strike zone that convinced his manager to look in a different direction Friday.
