Crochet diva Lily Chin , who co-chairs the National NeedleArts Association , which organized the event, showed up ready to set the record in a homemade Mets uniform that she had knit herself, complete with a crocheted cap and even a mitt made out of yarn.

    "I thought this was a great team effort," said Chin, "because baseball is a team sport. I thought it was brilliant."

     Every season, Major League Baseball (MLB) and The National Needlearts Association (TNNA) hold Stitch N’ Pitch events.

   Fans sit together in a special section, work on their crochet, cross-stitch, embroidery, knitting or needlepoint projects, cheer on their favorite team, and celebrate the needlearts.
