Oh the Mets make it easy sometimes. The Times has a list of perks potential new minority owners will get for their $20 million investment.
At first I thought it was a goof article, but it’s real.
You get….
“Access to Mr. Met” (the Times’ phrasing)
A business card that says owner. (So far this reads like a parody article, no?)
“Owner’s Workout Day” (again, reads like an article in The Apple.)
Discount merch. Discount. $20 million and all I wanted was a lousy jersey.
Parking!
As for the more minor details, there was no shortage of specifics: the $20 million would include one free trip with the team during the regular season (the Mets would pick the city); one free weekend’s stay at spring training; and a lot of potential lunch dates — with broadcasters and former players. A luncheon with the manager and general manager? Off-season only, the document says.
Well, there’s today’s must read!

I had teased (on twitter @metspolice) that I would post more crazy speculative ill-informed theory on why it might make sense to have the 2013 All Star Game somewhere else…but I’m holding that for tomorrow.
