In honor of #FleetWeek, pitchers @StephenNogosek & @ColinHolderman visited the USS Bataan, a landing helicopter dock-class ship at Pier 88. The players received a private tour and met members who serve on board. They also handed out @Mets 60th Anniversary branded challenge coins.

An honor to be aboard the USS Bataan to wrap up fleet week in NYC. Even more special to hear what it means to these active duty service members - reflecting on those thatโve made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Humbling. ๐บ๐ธ
