Hey Shannon look who the Mets are pulling for.

11:57am: So far not much interesting other than the announcement itself. I did like that Fred mentioned this was Jeff’s project. I’ll update this post as things develop. NEW YORK METS AWARDED THE 2013 ALL-STAR GAME NEW YORK, NY – The New York Mets have been awarded Major League Baseball’s 2013 All-Star Game and will host the 84th Midsummer Classic at Citi Field, Baseball Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig announced today at a press conference at City Hall. Commissioner Selig was joined by the Mayor of New York, the Honorable Michael R. Bloomberg, and New York Mets Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Fred Wilpon.
The 2013 All-Star Game will mark the second time that the Mets, who are commemorating their 50th anniversary in 2012, will host the Midsummer Classic. Shea Stadium hosted the 1964 All-Star Game, a 7-4 National League victory that featured 21 participating Hall of Famers, including Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente, Sandy Koufax, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays and Frank Robinson, as well as MLB’s Executive Vice President for Baseball Operations, Joe Torre. It will be the ninth All-Star Game in Baseball history to be played in New York City, which is the most of any host city. The bold is mine and I still say (without ever having actually planned an All Star Game) that this could all have been hammered out in a three hour meeting. Parking for satellite trucks? Really? In a city where there’s a movie shoot in midtown almost every day?
