Boldis' last day of work with the team was Nov. 2, 2015, when the Kansas City Royals came from behind to beat the home team and claim the World Series title at Citi Field. Having left his job with the Mets for a construction gig in the offseason, Boldis wasn't in Kansas City on Sunday where, as luck would have it, the Mets opened the 2016-2017 season and suffered the indignation of watching the Royals receive their World Series bling. But sources tell us that he was hoping to be in a celebratory mood on Thursday when the Mets returned home and received their NL championship rings, which are made up of 110 diamonds and 42 sapphires that spell out the Mets "NY" logo.
