New York Mets vs. Boston Red Sox — 1986 Retro Jersey Giveaway

What to expect

Long early lines for the jersey giveaway (they're limited, so arrive when gates open), then relaxed Sunday-afternoon baseball with a big-series edge. Expect '86 nostalgia everywhere — Mookie Wilson and Bill Buckner references included — and split crowds trading chants.

Good to know

• Giveaway items are first-come, first-served — arrive at gate opening to be safe
