Look, I’m sire Lauren is lovely and great at what she does. But look at this quote:
As a lifelong New Yorker and sports fan, I’m incredibly excited to join the New York Mets, an iconic franchise with such deep roots in New York City and baseball history,” said Hurvitz. “I look forward to partnering with this talented team to strengthen our connection with our passionate fanbase and the broader community.”
If you read my dopey blog, you are probably a Mets fan. Is that how Mets fans talk? It’s how corporate drones talk. It’s how people who just want to get every dollar out of the fans talk. I’m not sure it’s how Mets fans talk.
Here’s what I would have said:
“From meeting Tom Seaver as a young boy, to spending many a day in the Upper Deck at Shea Stadium, this is a dream come true! To be able to be part of the New York Mets….blah blah thank Steve and Alex….”
But I’m a fan, not a hired gun.
Hopefully Lauren will murder the atrocious and useless Mrs. Met twitter account.
Also of note, this is yet another press release using phrasing like this: “Steve and Alex Cohen’s ownership.” So when you thank Steve, or blame Steve….also thank or blame Alex. Right now, she’s part of Team Blame for this failed five year mission.
