Five Questions For An Average Mets Fan (Fan #31)

1975

2. What is your favorite Mets memory?


The day they acquired Hernandez, for the first time in my met fan life, there was true hope

3. What is your worst Mets memory or experience?


June 15, 1977 Trading Seaver and to a lesser degree Kingman, being 9 at the time, you have no idea about off the field issues, or any of the behind the scenes BS, it was incomprehensible to me why they were gone, and it seemed like the organization gave up that day.

4. If you could change one off-field thing about the franchise what would it be?

They should embrace the past better, and not just 69 and 86. I had alot of great memories even when they stunk. How about an old timers game. I would love to see guys like Steve Henderson, Joel Youngblood, even Willie Montanez!!!

5. If you owned the team starting tomorrow, what is the first thing you would change?


If I was Jeff Wilpon, I would take a less visible role and hire a baseball “czar” so to speak and clean up the mess. Perceived or otherwise, there is a stench around this organzation that needs to be cleaned up. Open the windows, let it all out. I would hire the baseball equivalent of Bill Parcells. I am also a Miami Dolphin fan, after the horrible 1-15, they cleaned house and bought themselves instant credibility with a proven winner who had an established track record of turning around downtrodden franchises. Who is that guy here?? John Schulerholz, Pat Gillick, I’m not even sure at this point but you get the point.
