Yonkers Raceway
YONKERS,
NY, Tuesday, September 27, 2016—Former New York Met
John Franco, one of baseball’s all-time great relief pitchers, visits Empire
City Casino @ Yonkers Raceway Friday night (Sept. 30), meeting and greeting
fans at Dan Rooney’s Sports Bar.
Franco is going to be among the faithful watching as the Mets
travel to Philadelphia in what figures to be a pivotal game in the National
League wild-card race.
The Brooklyn native and St. John’s University product, fifth on
the all-time saves list (424, first among lefties), is scheduled to appear
between 7-9 PM, posing for pictures and signing autographs for the first 100
fans, then taking in the game with the Amazin’ fans.
Franco, a four-time
All-Star and three-time National League saves leader in a 21-year career, was
inducted into the Mets’ Hall of Fame in 2012.
Food and drink specials are available, not to mention a perfect
view of the game on Dan Rooney’s large-screen TVs.
