Wow do I know my Mets or what? I told you this morning they would announce all kinds of stuff today because I was super busy (actually STILL working now).
Anyway, there’s a video but MLB thinks you want to sit through a commercial to find out if you can bring a backpack (no).
So here’s some screen grabs and then the video – and I will tell you right now PARKING IS GONNA BE A DISASTER AND PEOPLE ARE GONNA GET MAD. If you’re not in that first session, good luck parking.
The video mentions some pane-like events and some games and stuff. Seems like it might be cool. I will be home playing video games with my backpack. Actually no joke, I am still working and I am mobile and my backpack is right here with me for real.
There is still no official word of what players but it’s (at least) JDG, Matz, Vulgar Pete and Rosario.
I suspect Jon Matlack will be around since it looks like he has been added to the Mets Hall of Fame but shhhh that’s a secret.
And I will bet some Mets Money that new manager – whatshisname…..looks it up….Luis Rojas (I had actually forgotten) will be there, although since it’s not officially announced maybe the Mets will be stubborn with this one and not have him come.
FYI I did have the opportunity to cover the Fest as “media” but I’m kinda done driving to Queens. I do thank the Mets for the invite.
