The starting pitcher chooses the Mets uniforms

I’m getting lots of email about Charlie Samuels related to my dislike of black uniforms.

The starting pitcher chooses the uniforms.  Charlie did not.

In the past I had been under the incorrect impression that Charlie picked the uni (how that got in my head is another story) but I have been told point blank by the Mets that the starting pitcher chooses the uniform and the clubhouse music.

I have no insight into today’s news that Charlie has been suspended so can’t comment on that in any meaningful way.
