Callie the Mets fan finally got to take her prom photos at Citi Field
You may remember Callie Quinn, the Mets fan who went viral after asking the team if she could have her prom photos taken at Citi Field. The bar was set at a whopping 500,000 retweets, and somehow, Callie cleared it, earning her a date on the diamond before her prom night -- and a visit to her high school from one Mr. Met.
We're pleased to report that, after months of waiting, Callie's special day finally arrived prior to Friday's game against the D-backs -- and as she told MLB.com's Anthony DiComo, it was exactly as cool as you'd imagine:

And then, last but not least, it was time to meet her hero -- the man whose Twitter game helped make this whole thing possible,

Let this be a lesson to all you dreamers out there: If you can tweet it, you can achieve it.
