Oh the Mets make it easy sometimes. The Times has a list of perks potential new minority owners will get for their $20 million investment.
At first I thought it was a goof article, but it’s real.
You get….
“Access to Mr. Met” (the Times’ phrasing)
A business card that says owner. (So far this reads like a parody article, no?)
“Owner’s Workout Day” (again, reads like an article in The Apple.)
Discount merch. Discount. $20 million and all I wanted was a lousy jersey.
Parking!
As for the more minor details, there was no shortage of specifics: the $20 million would include one free trip with the team during the regular season (the Mets would pick the city); one free weekend’s stay at spring training; and a lot of potential lunch dates — with broadcasters and former players. A luncheon with the manager and general manager? Off-season only, the document says.
Well, there’s today’s must read!
..
I had teased (on twitter @metspolice) that I would post more crazy speculative ill-informed theory on why it might make sense to have the 2013 All Star Game somewhere else…but I’m holding that for tomorrow.
Is that all this team can come up with from a marketing stand point, when they are asking for 20 million dollars?….Maybe its me and I just didn’t know that you just don’t get much for $20 million these days.
Either they need a new marketing department or they have already laid them off to save money.
Once in awhile I would love to just catch this team “Doing Something Right”! (i.e Bringing banner day back, getting rid of black, NOT RAISING SPRING TRAINING TICKET PRICES to watch a “Beer League Team”, etc)
