These days, we're more apt to go to the boy aquarium to live out our Heated Rivalry fantasies, but we can make do with an en plein air event to ogle athletic men swinging bats and grabbing balls for the Mets' annual Pride Night. This year, the hometown team goes up against the Phillies for a night of ball-playing with a side of DJs, Pride merch, themed cocktails and more. The first 15,000 fans get a Mets Pride sleeveless jersey (yeah, sleeveless) and post-game fireworks billed as "Pride-themed," which begs the question: What do non-gay fireworks look like?
Fans can also start early at a free pre-game party from 5–7pm at Willets Point Brewery on Seaver Way, once again hosted by Jan Sport with a live DJ, mascot appearances and performances from the Queens Crew.
