Why did the @mets change the promotional giveaways to first 15,000 fans?

Continuing my position of blogging about what’s on my mind whether or not @mediagoon posted about it while I was away….

As I catch up on things, one item that caught my eye was the 2015 Promotional Calendar.

While the idea of a David Wright Replica Jersey is exciting (please shoot for at least “Cyclones giveaway” quality, the Seaver-replicas in 2014 were too thin) I can’t stop wondering why they are capping the giveaways at 15,000.

In the past it was 20,000 or more.

Have other teams dropped the number?

Are they being “cheap?”

Do they think that they won’t draw 20,000 so there’s no reason to have leftover deGrom garden gnomes sitting around?

Just curious.
