 On September 10th 2009 Tuesday's Children participated in the annual Mets Meet and Greet this year on September 10th, 2009. Tim Redding, Nelson Figueroa, Cory Sullivan, Mike Pelfrey, Nick Evans and Jeremy Reed greeted fifteen Tuesday's Children families before the game to sign autographs and pose for pictures.
One Tuesday's Children member told us "We all had a great time!
The autographs on the girls' hats were a huge hit (so to speak :) ).
The seats were terrific and we are all so grateful. You made what would have been a rough night much easier!"
