That was awesome! I missed out on all of this because the freakin' Cavs game ran over. I am SO glad that Stan could be there for such an auspicious day.
Ozzie had a "Previous engagement". I find it interesting that Hernandez (a Met for life) accepted the invitation to participate but Ozzie was too busy.
