   Shit, my apologies, no disrespect to Baty. Forgot he did the same!

5. The first of many!

6. He can marry my daughter.

   (I’m single and have no children)

7. Frantically deleting the “maybe he’s not ready” text in my Mets group chat after the first two at bats lmao

8. what a great opening day wow

9. Welcome home, Carson!

10. Welcome and we applaud you at the beginning of a wonderful career! ⚾️🍎🧡💙

11. Someone was just in here a few days ago saying he couldn’t pull the ball OR hit it in the air, and told me I don’t know ball for suggesting we should maybe wait for him to play a game to declare such things.

    Amazing that Benge figured it out in his first major league game.

12. Touch ’em all kid! Great debut!

13. On pace for 162 home run season

14. Wish Gary was on the call for that

15. BengeBomb #1

16. Can we dub this with howies call?

17. Couldn’t be happier for the kid. Earned his spot

18. OUTTA HERE

19. Maybe he will hit one a game?

20. [Here’s the Howie Rose call](https://www.reddit.com/user/illseeyouinthefog/comments/1s4hxxm/carson_benges_first_career_hit_and_home_run_as/)

21. I’m so mad that we will never get a GKR call of that home run

22. Wow, 1st MLB game and at home on opening day, way to go!!! 👏👏👏

23. Hell of a day

24. Well there goes all hope of buying his rookie card in the mid 100s

25. I saw in a comment he got a curtain call, but it’s not in the replays. Makes me sad that we cut out so much of these moments by just trying to make the shortest possible clips.

    I’ll check for a video later I guess.

26. My favorite opening day I’ve been to in a minute, weather was amazing and so were the Mets

27. #pigeonpower after the pigeon dropped dead next to Benge he walked, scored and hit a home run. One of the weirdest moments I’ve seen live, especially since they kept playing. May the pigeon RIP.
