Since the @mets won’t put out a Banner Day press release I wrote it for them

Smurphy!
Smurphy!

I am getting annoyed that the Mets won’t tell us what the rules are for Banner Day.  Folks need to use this weekend’s free-time to make their signs.  

So, because I am a tremendously helpful pain in the ass, I have taken an old one and rewritten it.  Someone plug in a few details and away we go.

I am ASSUMING the rules aren’t changing, so don’t get mad at me if they do. 

Here is a DRAFT of the 2014 Press Release for the convenience of Flushing.

 

INSERT NAMES HERE NAMED JUDGES FOR BANNER DAY ON SUNDAY, MAY 25 AT CITI FIELD

 

Banner Day Participants to Check In at Bullpen Plaza,

Registration Begins at 10:00 a.m., Space is Limited

FLUSHING, N.Y., May 16, 2014 – The New York Mets today named Mets Hall of Famers Dwight Gooden and Rusty Staub, and Sports Radio 66 WFAN radio personalities Howie Rose and Evan Roberts (NEEDS NAMES) as judges for Banner Day on Sunday, May 25 prior to the 1:10 p.m. Mets-Diamonbacks game at Citi Field.

 

The judges will select three finalists and then fans texting at the ballpark and at home through Twitter and Facebook will decide the winning banner. The grand prize will be a trip for two to 2015 Mets Spring Training in Port St. Lucie.

 

The Mets also announced guidelines for the return of Banner Day, a Mets traditionwhere fans of all ages parade around the field with homemade banners professing their love for the team.

  1. metspolice Mets banner day? We’re doing this again? Black jerseys was a way more fun crusade.

  2. metspolice Mets I wonder if the parade this year will be under the big top in the parking lot because it’s starting to feel like a circus

  4. “nickschiavo: metspolice its just a ploy to cancel banner day when no one shows” “Mets execs” are enthusiastic that it is staying-really

  5. metspolice back in 2011 i was selected to be on a Mets focus group, they need another one asap, they need to hear from the fans
