Citi Field named terrible place for baseball but great place for food

Congratulations to the Mets who are really bad at winning World Championships…or even winning more games than they lose…(Trade Pete!) but they have had more success with food and they were so excited about winning the below they used Mailing List B which goes to the bloggers and also means Senior Executive Type didn’t handle this one himself, as he would have used Mailing List A and just sent it to like Mike Vacc.

Personally, I was fine with whatever they sold at Shea in 1986.  Green luke warm hot dog but Gooden struck out 17?  Perfect!
