A call for People’s Banner Day at Citi Field

Derek McDermott – Aug 31, 2011

Let’s do this. Screw Wilpon. If the Mets don’t have banner day on the schedule next year, let’s make one up. The Mets Police should pick a weekend day game against the Pirates, Marlins, Nationals or whichever team is sucky enough and declare in a loud voice, “I’m bringing Banner Day back, whether the Mets want it or not. I love this team from 40-120 to 108-54! I love this team even when they wear black uniforms and when they wear white with pinstripes! I love this team when they trade Tom Seaver and when Doc Gooden wins Rookie of the Year! Lets’ go Mets!”This team is 50 years old, and should honor its traditions, Banner Day being among the best of the forgotten.

I love this idea…and if we need to use this idea we shall. However, from what I am hearing…..stand-by 😉

At a don’t-burn-people-overview I like everything I have heard about 2012 from unis to patches to possible events. We’ll see how it actually plays out.

And just to be clear and not to accidentally mislead you, Dave Howard and I did not discuss Banner Day at all in any form, whether he plans to have it or not, or had just come from a meeting picking the date or if he has a giant sign on his desk that says No Banner Day. I don’t know his thoughts, so don’t add 2 and 2 and get 5.

All that being said…I think we will like 2012 in Queens.
