Monday night’s debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is expected to draw Super Bowl numbers, and more than a few news networks have been advertising it like UFC Fight Night.
So when the Mets and Marlins gathered before Monday night’s game in honor of the Marlins’ fallen superstar Jose Fernandez, 24, who with two other young men was killed in a boating accident, their giant group hug helped put things back into perspective.
This, not anything from the debate, will be the high point of tonight. https://t.co/O4XUqTtms8
