Despite the stormy weather, the FAB trip to Citifield for the NY Subway Series was FABulous! It was a memorable night that will go down in the books as unforgettable! To be able to watch Willie Mays’ son, Michael Mays, throw out the first pitch was a once in a lifetime occasion. Everyone had a great time and wants to do it again next year! Thank you to everyone who joined us and for the members who coordinated the trip!
