So Why Are The New York Mets’ Cars Red?

Hey remember we were talking about these cars the Mets are giving away and how they are like, well, red?

Here’s what Mr. Sunshine the Yankees fans sent me from Fake New Yankee Stadium.   Notice that it isn’t red.  In fact it’s in the colors of the Yankees.  Imagine that.

Eventually David Howard is going to need to hire me to police such things for the franchise.  “Hey Shannon, what  do you think about these red cars we want to give away?”   I’ll catch little things like “well David, the car is red and our team colors are blue and orange and even arguably black, so why would we give away a red car?”

The good news is Mr. Sunshine is starting to get the jokes…his note included:


I am proud to own a vehicle such as this with great distinction, class, and heritage.

Yes, Sunshine…like all things Yankee you could imagine this car being driven by Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle, Reggie and Jeter..and Jeter would drive it with class.

Sunshine may be doing some playoff coverage for us which should be entertaining.   He’s somewhere between Michael Kay and John Sterling on the Yankee Rose colored glasses scale.   He’s also upgraded his seats like 7 times this season and should be across the moat by season’s end.
