Mets players are looking forward to meeting first responders before the 9/11 Remembrance ceremony Sunday night.

"Perspective' isn't even the word to use," Josh Thole said. "You realize that there is so much more to life than just what we do. We're fortunate that we can play baseball for a living. But when you talk to guys like that who have had that kind of experience, you sit there and your jaw drops. You get bumped and bruised around here and it's not the end of the world. These guys, gosh, it's unexplainable."
