🎙️⚾️ WHAT A NIGHT WITH A METS LEGEND! 🧡💙

Some nights are about baseball… and some nights remind you exactly why we love this game so much.

@coachscollectiblesny1 and @amazingmetzone had an incredible time at @bullsmithstavern for a special Meet & Greet + Q&A with the legendary voice of the Mets, Howie Rose! 🎤🍎

Mets fans got the chance to sit back, ask questions, hear stories, share plenty of laughs, take photos and enjoy some truly special moments with a man whose voice has been part of so many unforgettable Mets memories.

Howie didn’t just talk baseball — he made everyone in the room feel like they were part of the conversation. The stories, the humor, the memories and the connection with the fans made this one of those nights you’ll be talking about for a LONG time.

A huge thank you to @howierosemets , Coaches Collectibles, @bullsmithstavern , and every single Mets fan who came out and made the night so memorable! 🙌

And of course… there’s only one way to end this:

🎙️ PUT IT IN THE BOOKS! 📚⚾️🧡💙

“When did you become.. Pinman?”

Here’s a quick moment from a conversation that I had with Nick Giampietro aka the “Pinman”. Anyone who’s been to @citifield or roots for the Mets is well aware of how he’s one of the foundational fans. Years and years of disappointment and he still shows up to practically every game!

Special thanks to Pinman for stopping to chat and taking a photo with Lorelei for her last game before she heads back to college. She got a photo with him last year too right before she left. I'll take that as a sign it'll be another great year! 🧡 💙 #LGM

✨ What a wild few days!

I just wrapped three consecutive overnight background shoots, and honestly... I don’t know how I’m still standing. 😅 Maybe it’s the adrenaline, the excitement of being on set, watching an incredible film crew work their magic, meeting so many amazing people, and making new connections. 🎬✨

But now... it’s time to reset. 💛

For the longest time, my inner programming has told me, “Keep going. Don’t stop. Don’t be lazy.” But I’m learning that rest isn’t laziness—it’s necessary.
If you never recharge, eventually your body will make the decision for you... whether that’s getting sick, burning out, or throwing out your back. Your body always keeps score.

Even the phrase “self-care” used to make me feel selfish. But the truth is, taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it’s essential. Because if you don’t care for yourself, who will? And let’s be honest... most of us wouldn’t let someone else do it for us anyway. ❤️
So this weekend, I’m going against my old programming.

🌿 Sleeping.
💧 Rehydrating.
🍊 Loading up on Vitamin C.
🥗 Eating lots of vegetables.
🧘‍♀️ Stretching.
💛 And giving myself the same love and care I so freely give to everyone else.

I’m watering my own garden so it can continue to grow and produce beautiful things. 🌱✨

Wishing you all a wonderful summer weekend! ☀️

I’ll share all the exciting details about the project as soon as I’m allowed. I can’t wait! 🎥🤫💕##rushcastingcall #citifield #

KNICKS CHAMPIONSHIP PARADE!! Am I nuts for flying in for just a day to experience this parade ? You damn right that’s what diehards do and it was soooo worth it!!
This has legit been the best week of my life this feeling is so surreal and incredible. Throughout my entire life I always dreamt of how crazy and what the Knicks championship parade will look like when it happens one day. So here we’re in the year 2026 and that day happened it was much more crazy then I had expected and even tho it was frustrating at times I wouldn’t have changed this feeling of seeing my team go down the canyons of heroes in celebration of a championship. It was also amazing to spend this great moment, a moment that I’ll never forget with awesome friends and family. NEW YORK WE REALLY SHOWED UP AND SHOWED OUT YESTERDAY!!!!
Some people really don’t understand how much this means to me so I hope the last picture in this post can show you how THIS IS EVERYTHING TO ME!! Sports is my passion and for my entire life I’ve heard that I have never won at anything in life. UNTIL RIGHT NOW I’M A FUCKING CHAMPION LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! The parade and ceremonies maybe over but the celebrations are far from it we gonna be enjoying this throughout the entire summer!!
