Really?! As we looked down upon the snow-filled baseball field at NBT Bank Stadium for the Syracuse Mets annual open house on Saturday morning, my dear wife Karen, terrific daughter Elisabeth, George Three and I spotted one lonely soul yielding a shovel down toward home plate.

No signs of sellers. I’ll go to the stadium, this retired guy offered to terrific daughter Elisabeth after deciding that it looked as if the Syracuse Mets had put tickets for Opening Day 2023 on sale while I’d been adjusting to having this weekday time on my hands. But when I arrived at NBT Bank…
