Getting your player ready...
Mark Sanchez got his first applause at a New York-area stadium — at Citi Field. Two days after he was selected by the Jets with the fifth overall pick of the NFL draft, Sanchez threw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Mets played the Florida Marlins on Monday night. “It was a lobber,” Sanchez said. “I played it pretty conservative. I was told that if I bounced it, I’d get booed right out of here.” Sanchez said he had been getting “the sideways glances” while making his way around the city. “I got all my Jets stuff on. That’s all I got. I have suits and Jets clothes. Not too incognito,” he said.
