Some links from around the Metsiverse:
The interview I wish I’d thought of: Â behind the scenes at the Mets Museum!
Strawberry is opening a restaurant in Douglaston?
A look back at Rusty’s first tenure with the Mets, the one you’re not old enough to remember (probably.)
Two DW-centric pieces from ESPN:
– David Wright is pretty good on defense.
– what it’s like at the plate once you’ve been beaned.
I really enjoyed the Museum article but I’m going to save one quote from it for a rainy day…here’s Tina Mannix, the Mets’ senior director of marketing:
“We are very proud of the Jackie Robinson rotunda and we realize that we are a product of the Dodgers and the Giants. It’s fact. We wear the NY symbol because of the New York Giants and we wear orange and blue because of the blue of the Dodgers and the orange of the Giants.”
..and the black because?
So why do they wear black?
I don’t think that the Mets even know. I think that just like their random uniform choices, the choice to wear black was just that…Random! Its like they flipped a coin and that was it.
