The Mets posted on Twitter: “Dr. Michael Zervos and Dr. Costas Bizekis from @nyulangone, who continue to risk their lives and work tirelessly to save others in the fight against COVID-19 threw out today’s ceremonial first pitch.”
Many Mets fans tweeted in response, including Patrick Durek who posted, “Some heroes wear capes. Some wear scrubs and Mets caps,” and Jenfrain who posted, “Thank you for honoring true heroes!”
Georgia Kaporis posted a response, too, commenting, “Awesome!!! How amazing and well deserved!”
