At the National Museum of Mathematics gala Tuesday night, Peter Muller, chief executive officer of PDT Partners, put on his Mets jersey (#28 for Daniel Murphy) and announced the score was 1-1.
Sounding a little bitter to be missing the first game of the World Series, he needn’t have worried: the gala ended during the sixth inning -- with eight still to play. So he was able to see the Mets give up their lead and lose.
