Welcome to this week’s series. We’re going to tour the Mets Team Store at Citi Field and see what we find.
First we enter through the rotunda…
I had not previously noticed the non-baseball Jackie Robinson things. Again nothing wrong with it, just some Mets stuff somewhere in the stadium would be nice.
Here is a $20 poster that I saw as soon as I walked in. Kinda cool…
And right up front I saw this….um…hey….I seem to have magically transported to Chavez Ravine! What happened?
Oh I get it, Jackie Robinson…ok I will calm down…..
…Hey, what’s this doing there?
We’re just getting started. More tomorrow.

That photo of Jackie Robinson is at — you guessed it! — LA Coliseum, the LA Dodgers' first stadium when they moved west! Since Jackie was an LA native.
It's not the only Los Angeles picture in the rotunda, either — there's another one of him at UCLA.
We still have his wife coming to Dodger games. You know how thrilled Dodgers fans are at having our team's history plastered all over a DisneyEbbetts Stadium?
Not.
