A very nice profile of The T-Shirt Guy (who gave my mom a pair of sunglasses on Saturday.)

After a little less than four years in business, The 7 Line’s success is easily measurable. As of one recent count, Meenan had 77 items available for purchase on his web site, including t-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, and knitted hats and scarves crocheted by his mother, with a tag that reads “Made By Momma Meenan.” Shirts generally go for $20.

@jimbojoker38 asked why Keith Miller has a banner outside Citi Field.

Seems curious, right?

Then read this.

So Keith Miller is an agent.  Interesting.

And (at least in 2010) the Daily News says his firm is David Wright’s firm.

And there they are on a banner together.

A longer than usual excerpt.

Using deductive reasoning, I think it’s safe to conclude that our section not being shown or mentioned wasn’t because the Mets/WPIX producers and camera guys simply missed it or forgot.
