Question of the Day: The Mets and First Responder Hats

One of the enduring memories of the 2001 baseball season was the Mets' first game in New York following the attacks on Sept. 21, 2001. The game, which the Mets won 3-2 thanks to a Mike Piazza eighth-inning homer, took a back seat to a night of patriotism, respect and honor for the victims of the attacks and the emergency workers who helped them.

One of the way the Mets chose to honor those victims was by wearing numerous hats representing the different groups of emergency workers that worked at the World Trade Center site. This year, the Mets wanted to do so again on Sunday during their game against the Cubs to honor the tenth anniversary of the attacks, but they were prevented from doing so by Major League Baseball, who said they wanted to keep "continuity throughout baseball" with Sept. 11 tributes (all teams had an American flag stitched on their uniform).

Patch wants to know what you think of Major League Baseball's decision. Should the Mets have been allowed to wear the hats, or was it right to keep the celebrations uniform throughout the sport? Let us know in the comments.
