While the other sites do the oh so boring by now Bonilla joke (hey only 15 more years of that one…how many writers does the AAIMBR have?) let us take today, July 1, to salute Canada Day and a great Canadian player in Mets history, Jason Bay.
The Mets know the Canadians like hockey, eh, so they of course brought out a hockey player at the Jason Bay press conference to confuse everyone.
Jason, who hit .267 36 and 119 the year before he joined the Mets so stop acting like you knew he’d suck, was part of the Players Choice Jerseys thing they did way back when (and I wish they would bring it back).
His included a Canadian motif.
This jersey had a lot of potential, but he blew it in putting the ball logo on the front. I think had this said Mets (or New York like Murph did) it would have been a lot better.
Here’s the Murph jersey I mentioned. It’s one of my favorites and I got if for $30 at the Mets store when y’all thought he was dead and buried after getting hurt learning to play 2B because you guys thought your power hitting first baseman was some sort of all time great and not just a flash in the pan.
Anyway AAIMBR lol Bonilla and stuff. God job by your writing staff even trying today.
