During a media event to commemorate the opening of a new Tiger Woods-designed golf course in Asheville, N.C., in early October, one 12-year-old stole the show.

Talk about a microcosm.

That pretty much sums up 2009 for the New York Mets, who are closing one of the most injury-filled seasons in recent memory.
