Mr. Met Dash Canceled Because of ESPN...

The game between the Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday, August 26 is now scheduled to start at 8:05 p.m. ET to accommodate ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball broadcast.

Tickets showing the original start time of 1:10 p.m. ET for the August 26 game should still be used for admission.

What's the big deal you may be asking yourself? Well, every year the Mets hold a very special promotion for kids ages 12 and under. This popular promotion allows them to run the bases at Shea, like their favorite baseball players. Thousands of kids look forward to this event each year and now because of the switch in times, the event has been canceled.

Shame on you ESPN, I hope the ratings are worth it!
