On Wednesday, January 19th Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer joined local fifth and sixth graders from P.S. 150’s After-School Sports Program run by Sunnyside Community Services, for a special behind-the-scenes clubhouse tour at Citi Field. The special visit included a personal meet and greet with New York Mets players, including R.A. Dickey, Dillon Gee, Bobby Parnell, Mike Pelfrey, Jose Reyes, Josh Thole and Manager Terry Collins to celebrate the launch of the third season of Citi Field Kids. Van Bramer helped save the P.S. 150 After School Program from closing their doors when he secured $295,000 in funding for the program just a few months earlier. This once in a lifetime opportunity helps combine education and baseball for youngsters.
