Its rare for Eastern Michigan University to cheer for the New York Mets during the baseball World Series, but they are doing it because of a local connection. Terry Collins, the current manager for the Mets graduated from EMU in 1971 and was a student athlete at the university.
Students, staff and faculty took a photo in front of an EMU sign and will send it to Collins as part of good luck package to celebrate.
