Yoenis Cespedes, Curtis Granderson and the rest of the New York Mets welcomed in Endwell, the Little League World Series Champs.
Today, at Citi Field, champions met champions.
The reigning National League Champion New York Mets met the newly crowned Little League World Series Champs, the stacked all-star squad from Endwell, New York.
Prior to the Mets game against the Miami Marlins, one that’ll see Bartolo Colon look to keep the Fish cold, Yoenis Cespedes, Curtis Granderson and many more did their best to make the sluggers from Endwell feel right at home:

The kids (and manager) were interviewed by SNY’s Steve Gelbs during the second inning, at the very same time Wilmer Flores smacked a two-run home run to put the Mets up 2-1.
