The New York Mets hosted the annual Clinic for Champions at their Spring Training home in Port St. Lucie, Florida. The Clinic for Champions, which started in 2015, provides a unique opportunity for Special Olympic athletes to learn tips from Mets coaches and players.
Mets Owner and President of the Amazin’ Mets Foundation Alex Cohen and Manager Carlos Mendoza greeted participants as they arrived at Clover Park. More than 70 Special Olympic athletes participated in the clinic where they got to hit, field, catch, and throw with Mets coaches and players including Francisco Lindor, Brandon Nimmo, Brett Baty, Tylor Megill, and Sean Manaea.
All participants received a Mets bobblehead and branded headband upon leaving.
