It was a very long day and I got back to PA late so pardon me if I post these pictures with very little comment.
I’ll be tweeting out more for the rest of the Fan Fest so follow me @dtwohig
An impressive “you won this jersey” from 2013
Delgado and….Campiz?
and Jay Payton – most people wearing traditional names
The line for John Franco at 10 am
He was signing right next to WFAN stage
Meanwhile Doc’s line was closed with an hour remaining
Rollie, Bert Campaneris, George Foster & Gaylord Perry signing for charity
Later Doc was signing copies of his book
There was even a line for Art Shamsky
On to merchandise – $100 baseball leather cap
Plenty of other cap options
…even more….
…and even more
They had an embroidering station just for caps
Classic penants
Hold on a sec – there are 2 Mr. Mets here!
More tee shirts than even Darren (I think)
Each team gets its own cover – and the Mets have 6
Someone please let Louisville Slugger know the black roads were ditched years ago
A giant baseball – I don’t know why
The history of the Mets (they even show the correct logo)
Take a picture with the team
OK, a little misleading – people that have “worked with the Mets” that are in the HOF
Charles Fazzino was coloring in a new piece
Uniforms from the AAGBL
And several members of the league were there too (that was cool)
A display of minor league teams – but no independents of course
Volunteers help paint benches for youth fields
Youth clinics and kids activities throughout Javits
Tee ball cages!
A sample of the food offerings and prices
How my wife is feeling this weekend
