I think the Mets are trying to put me out of business and I’m thrilled!
Let’s review:
Sunday they let fans move down in the rain.
Then they gave rainchecks to everyone who had a ticket for Sunday.
They added a new twitterfeed to share info.
On Monday they tweeted the lineup to fans before the clubhouse opened. As Cerrone pointed out that means you had the info earlier or at worst at the same time as “the media.”. (I bet “the media” grumble and this changes.)
Then they rained out Monday nights game at a quarter to 6. Think of all the unnecessary driving and train rides they saved their customers! (and $19 parking.). No wasted evening!
Tomorrow is an old-fashioned doubleheader! One ticket, two games.
Now I suspect a Tuesday afternoon makeup would have been quite empty, and I don’t know the economics of paying security and parking guys and ushers….and I bet if there were 40k sold it might not be a single admission…..but that’s all What If.
They did a good job, I cheer.
Now go win the World Series in blue caps and pinstripes and I’ll pack this baby in and call it a day.
