SNY will premiere the definitive list of the ‘50 greatest Mets players’ of all-time in May.
This 60-minute program presented by Citi – entitled 50 Greatest Mets – counts down the greatest players in club history, based on tabulated votes submitted by SNY’s blue ribbon panel, which includes Gary Cohen and Howie Rose, Ralph Kiner, columnist John Harper of the New York Daily News, and Steve Hirdt, the Executive Vice President of the Elias Sports Bureau.

This opens the door to a topic I wanted to get into. The SNY filler programing is terrible. Beer Money is a complete waste.
Now, I imagine that all the money is in games and they don’t care if anyone is watching at other times…but at that point show informercials over Beer Money.
In the past I have pitched my How I Met The Mets series. I thought together we could come up with some INEXPENSIVE ideas for SNY.
I’ll go first…
I call it HOWIE AND KINER TELL STORIES.
Two chairs, a fixed cam (hell, use the SNY set on 5th avenue) and have Howie and Kiner tell stories. Some light editing. Done.
We all know Ralph has a million good stories. We all know Howie is awesome. Make it.
