Twenty-four years later, the memories of that day and the ones that immediately followed still resonate for members of the 2001 Mets. So coming to a firehouse in the middle of Chelsea is a sacred duty.

Hear me out: It would be great if stadiums and ballparks could be built with roofs that could be opened and closed dependent on weather conditions. It's a bloody shame that we just don't have the technology to make such a thing happen. Pity, really.
