For some fans, ball is life. That is certainly a true statement for New York Mets super fan “Frank the Tank,” who had quite a visceral reaction to the team’s loss Monday against the Atlanta Braves.
A loss that was the result of a pinch-hit walk-off home run by Charlie Culberson.

Mets fans everywhere agonized over this, but perhaps none did so as well as Frank the Tank.
Mets super fan "Frank the Tank" probably represented all Mets fans today after they lost via a lost lead and walk-off HR…

We feel your pain, buddy.
Thankfully Frank and the rest of Mets Nation was able to celebrate later on, as New York outlasted Atlanta with an 8-5 win in the second part of that double-header following a rain delay.
