In this morning’s post I pointed out that it is believed the Mets have two mailing lists, one used by Senior Execs (that the bloggers don’t seem to be on) and the list used by junior staffers. List B, as I call it, sent me this.
The Mets didn’t send an image, and I lost my bookmark to the AI Image Generator (Don’t worry @ceetar is about to DM me a link) so this will have to do.
