“Well,” Davis says, “it was a normal day when it started.”

…At about 5 p.m., manager Tony DeFrancesco pulled him aside.

…The New York Mets needed him that night, and their game was set to begin in about two hours.  

…Coca-Cola Park, where the IronPigs play, is about 109 miles from Citi Field. The drive takes around two hours.

Davis showered and hopped in an Uber with Jason.

…“Me and Jason, we got to know each other,” Davis said.

He became the 11th player in Mets history to homer in his first at-bat with the team. Robinson Canó did it on opening day.

In 2016, Callaway watched Davis launch another big home run. That one came in Game 7 of the World Series, and it tied the game. A reporter that asked Callaway about Wednesday’s home run led with: “Obviously not the same stakes as tonight …”

“It felt like it!” Callaway responded.

Hell of a baseball story.
