今年的 #紐約大都會台灣日 不只台味濃濃，更有一種感謝的味道。
Mets Taiwan Day/ 紐約大都會台灣日數個小時前在地球的另一端盛大舉行，已經舉辦16屆的這個活動是大聯盟球隊中規模最大的台灣文化慶典， 蔡英文 Tsai Ing-wen總統特別穿上「Taiwan No.1」球衣錄製影片，以神秘嘉賓的身分與 蕭美琴 Bi-khim Hsiao大使同框，跨海現身球場大螢幕致詞，並介紹台灣的奧運選手！
這是我國駐美大使 #第一次獲大都會隊邀請開球，意義非凡，場內許多觀眾身穿與總統相同的球衣，氣氛熱烈！場外則有 #電音三太子、#官將首 等台灣傳統民俗技藝表演，現場宛如台灣廟會般的熱鬧。
為了感謝美國在疫情升溫之際捐贈台灣250萬劑疫苗，外交部特別以棒球為核心概念製作影片感謝美國協助。台美共享自由、民主人權的價值，兩國友誼將更加堅定。
#真朋友真進展
This year’s #MetsTaiwanDay felt almost like #Thanksgiving, although we didn’t see any turkeys and it was Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen sporting a “Taiwan No. 1” jersey on the big screen giving thanks to the US for their donation of 2.5 million vaccines! She also took the opportunity to introduce Taiwan's Olympic team.
Ambassador Hsiao Bi-khim took to the field to throw the first pitch, the first to be thrown for the Mets by a Taiwan representative to the US! The atmosphere was electric inside the stadium, while outside the Third Lotus Prince was bringing some Taiwanese electro to fans!
You can check out some of the photos below and earlier today we posted a film made especially for broadcast at the game!!
