Item: former 1986 Mets player seems to have done bad things.
As I have mentioned before, I’m not really interested in dirt. Sometimes there’s a combinational of player and action that cannot be ignored. In this case, I think we all have come to realize what we have in this guy. Think back to a skinny kid, maybe an October home run, and ignore the rest.
Item: guy people like was reportedly ejected from stadium on Sunday
If you spent two seconds on the Internet today you may have read about the fan who was reportedly ejected from the game.
It would be very easy for me to go into “Mets are jerks, they don’t get it” mode. My default is “couldn’t they remove the sign but not the guy?” One could argue that one arm of Wilpon Inc liked the sign on Friday so why not on Sunday? One could suggest the overeager security guard(s) theory.
Point is, I don’t know what happened. I’ve only heard one side.
Item: some want me to write the “general problem with overzealous Citi security story”
I could…but I need some stories. I personally find the Citi Field staff to be pleasant.
When I air my grievances they are mine, based on my experiences. Fred, Jeff and Dave Einhorn are welcome to meet me in the Promenade and we can discuss the meaning of obstructed. I’ll pay for the seats and I’ll know the details of the issue. (If you’re new, basically click on any article from 2009.)
I haven’t been hassled by any guards. If you have, I’d be interested in hearing your story.
