When the New York Mets finally made it to the NLCS, the team’s longest-tenured player broke down in tears. On Wednesday, the Mets defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 in Game 4 of their NLDS series. Star shortstop Francisco Lindor’s game-winning grand shot in the sixth inning sent the crowd into a frenzy at Citi Field.Nimmo, 31, has been with the Mets longer than any other player on the team. He made his team debut in 2016 and is currently in his ninth season. Since Nimmo disclosed that his grandmother had passed away prior to the Mets’ Wild Card series triumph over the Milwaukee Brewers last week, the event must have held extra special significance for him. This is the first time Nimmo (or anyone else on the roster, for that matter) has attended the NLCS since the Mets’ most recent trip back there in 2015.
