It’s my least favorite stupid-Mets day of the year!
Mets players will wear “Los Mets” jerseys and the night’s festivities will feature Latin American music and dance with pre-game entertainment and in-game programming designed to celebrate Latino culture.
Now before you make assumptions about me calm down.
Here’s my problem. “Los Mets” means “The Mets.” That’s stupid. Spanish for Mets is Mets. Are they going to wear “The Mets” jerseys on U.K. Night?
If you’re going to do this you need a name like Brewers/Cerveceros. Gigantes. Yanquis (although that would be a major departure).
“Los Mets” is stupid and it looks stupid on a jersey.
You wanna have nights for various groups, awesome. I doubt that “Los” gains one more fan.
UPDATE:
Some of the comments have suggested I don’t understand the mechanics of Spanish. I admit I don’t.
However..
Here are Los Piratas de Campeche wearing their jerseys. No “Los”
Here are Los Tigres en Quintana Roo. No “Los.”
