The New York Mets and Miami Marlins jointly walked off the field after a moment of silence, draping a Black Lives Matter T-shirt across home plate as they chose not to play Thursday night. After other games around baseball were postponed to protest social injustice, the Mets were late to take the field Thursday and neither starting pitcher threw any warmup pitches. Mets outfielder Dominic Smith - a Black man who wept Wednesday night while discussing the shooting by police of a Black man in Wisconsin over the weekend - then led New York onto the field.
