Megdal for GM on ‘Better Seats, Lower Prices’ (and some Mazzilli)

Howard Megdal who is running for Mets General Manager has a theory on the campaign, and how he will change it if he is elected as GM.  Under my Honor Among Bloggers code, it would not be cool to tell you what he came up with so you’ll have to read it here.

Medgal and I exchanged some tweets last week.   I have publicly stated that I don’t know if I can support this guy if he is going to wear black t-shirts in his ad campaigns.

If I do choose to support him, I have some terms:

1.  No black uniforms. Megdal will say the GM has no say over that.

The starting pitcher chooses the uniform.  The GM picks the roster.  Pick guys that hate black uniforms.  Very simple.

2.  Lee Mazzilli Poster Day II.

The first 25,000 people in attendance get a replica of the original Lee Mazzilli poster.  If you’re old enough you’ll dg it, if you are too young you will throw it away and I will just pick yours out of the garbage.

I need a Lee Mazzilli poster.  I can’t even find an image to share with you.  If you Google “Lee Mazzilli Poster” all you get is some idiot calling himself Mets Police talking about the poster.

I did find this cool article from New York Magazine in 1980 as I hunted.  Check out the Lee article on Page 10 called Urban Centerfielder.   Lee was the MAN in Flushing for a brief time.  Great article – I didn’t know Lee loves (loved?) Space Invaders.  I love Space Invaders.  Man, imagine me and Lee at an arcade with a roll of quarters in my pocket (made you laugh).   Also, what’s with this Joe Torre guy moving Lee to first base?  That guy stinks as a manager.

Oh yeah, I digress….Megdal for GM
