Gil Must Go: 1969 Mets cancel exhibition game at West Point

This team is a joke.  We need some new owners or something.  Yesterday was so ridiculous I could see the team still talking about it 50 years later in the press notes.

The Mets were scheduled to play an exhibition against the cadet nine at West Point, but were forced to cancel the contest after a point of legal order had been raised by the Players Association…The game would have been the fourth exhibition of the season, one over the limit…

I mean come on.  Didn’t anyone bother to check?  Why are we playing exhibition games in the middle of the season anyway?

Just ridiculous.  Anyway I am looking forward to this weekend’s series against our NL Expansion Cousins the Astros.  The Mets are only 6 back of Leo’s Cubs lol.
