I don’t agree in total with Shannon’s Post about Banner Day. The weather was iffy and I think a 100 entries for that day a was pretty impressive. It was reported by most of the the weather people that there was supposed to be scattered showers all day. I even had the two people that were coming with me back out because of the weather. So I can understand why there wasn’t a bigger turnout. However, I do feel the quality of the banners came out much better then last year and I’ll take the quality over the quantity.
I do see his point about people asking him/us to fight for something like banner day(People want old timer’s day,etc..) and by not showing up that it kind of kills the momentum of getting the Mets to keep on doing things like this. I have known Shannon all my life and I know when he gets passionate about something and he feels people might have dropped the ball he will go on an offensive. Did he go a little overboard? Maybe. But, I rather have him being passionate then blaise’.
I had fun on banner day. If you guys don’t want to participate, I understand. You should get into it next year if you can, it is a experience. Otherwise I know the people who want to do it will do it, the people who don’t want to won’t. Also read Dan’s post about this. I agree with his post more then I agree with Shannon’s.
HOLD TIGHT AND PRETEND IT’S A PLAN
