Robinson Canó Makes Emotional Citi Field Return in Dominican Republic's Exhibition Win

MLB veteran Robinson Canó made an emotional return to Citi Field on Saturday, participating in the "RD-PR Showdown" exhibition game between the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico winter leagues. The 17-year veteran, who played for the Mets from 2019-22, went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk for the Dominican Republic before being replaced in the seventh inning. The game was billed as a tribute to Canó, with every Dominican team member wearing his No. 24. He fought back tears, tipping his cap to the crowd and embracing teammates, stating, “Coming back here again and being able to play again means a lot to me... this day will have a special place in my heart.” The Dominican Republic ultimately won the contest 6-2.
