Jerry Seinfeld says he did not want to buy the Mets and didn’t have the money

Somehow nobody had this this morning, watch it pop up on BLOGS EVERYWHERE in the next hour. Copycats.

Jerry Seinfeld was on 60 Minutes and…

With the home of his other great love just a few hundred yards away, we asked Seinfeld if he had considered putting in a bid this year when the New York Mets were up for sale.

Jerry Seinfeld: I don’t have the money.

Jon Wertheim: Would you if you did?

Jerry Seinfeld: No, absolutely not. Why? Why? So I could have more people yelling at me on the street (LAUGH) when they lose? The ultimate peak experience of a baseball game is a seat, a hot dog, and a beer. There’s nothing above that.

He’ll have to wait to sit in the stands with a hot dog, just as his fans will have to wait until the pandemic is over to watch Jerry Seinfeld perform in person. (via CBS News)
