Remember “Mr. Sunshine” my Yankee fan friend from last week?
He emailed me today to say that he got an brochure from the Mets offering him “season tickets” (I bet he meant partial plans). Â He even spit back the “comebacks” marketing slogan.
Sunshine says he has never bought a Mets ticket.
Is there some sort of database sharing? Â Did MLB.com email out some sort of geography based mass e-mail to “baseball fans?”
Interesting.
Update: I have updated this post to correct the information. Â I incorrectly assumed it was an email, but Sunshine got the brochure via snail-mail, there was no email. Â I Castillo’d this one.
hmm, my non-baseball fan best man accused me yesterday of using his address for Mets stuff. This does seem like me, but to my knowledge I hadn’t done so, and yet he got one of those promo ticket mailings detailing the plans and schedule and what not.
I had in the past considered signing friends up for the ticket lotteries, but i’m 99% certain I didn’t do so for him at his semi-new place. So maybe they are doing a little bit of mining/mailing.
