Former Mets 2B Alomar to return jersey

The Internet rules today! We’ve had Mercury Mets, Skyliners, some fun with Dave Howard, I didn’t even get to the jersey of the day yet…but Roberto Alomar is providing more dividends than he ever did while playing in New York.

Here’s an actual statement from his website, complete with a screen grab. Mercury Mets Cap-tip to Deadspin.

How funny is the story that was printed regarding Roberto Alomar today! Let me say that Roberto did see the YouTube video, and immediately reached out via e-mail to the young man that owns the T-shirt. Not only will “Kanji” receive his shirt back, but he will also be receiving a few additional items in a personal package directly from Roberto.

Hey, let’s face it… Your T-shirt will now be a part historic baseball video footage for life! The parade was awesome. And during the parade, Robbie was given several items by fans…including flags, shirts and banners. You helped honor the Blue Jays during the parade, and Robbie was very proud to represent the team with it…even if it was by mistake!

You will get it back, my friend. Trust me, Robbie has enough Blue Jays shirts! Thank you for continuing to support Roberto Alomar!
