This is a REAL item.   WHY????

Rich guy, check. Police commissioner, check. Clowns…for sure, check.   All Steve needs now is an alien.

As George Carlin said, “It’s A BIG Club & You Ain’t In It!”

Anyway, I guess a Police Commissioner knows about safety…but “guest experiences” – yeah?

I do know some NYPD who thought she was very good.

Congratulations Rich Elite New Yorkers making big salaries!

 

KEECHANT SEWELL JOINS METS AS SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT,

SECURITY AND GUEST EXPERIENCE

 

Former New York City Police Commissioner appointed to newly created role with the Mets

FLUSHING, N.Y., November 2, 2023 – The New York Mets today announced that Keechant Sewell will be joining the organization on November 27 in a newly created position as Senior Vice President, Security and Guest Experience.

As the 45th New York City Police Commissioner, Sewell led the nation’s largest municipal police force, as well as the nation’s largest public transportation system. During her time as commissioner, Sewell executed multiple strategies, resulting in the reduction of crime in most major crime categories. She also collaborated with federal agencies to enhance counterterrorism workstreams and implemented the use of technology to assist investigations and ensure public safety.

In this position with the Mets, under the leadership of Katie Haas, Executive Vice President of Ballpark Operations and Experience, Sewell will oversee the safety and guest experience for the organization.

“Keechant’s expertise in public service, law and safety, as well as collaboration with the public, will allow us to take our Security and Guest Experience to the next level,” said Katie Haas, Executive Vice President of Ballpark Operations and Experience. “Keechant will help us to modernize our approach to safety and the guest experience at Citi Field, while also strengthening our relationships with the community and all agencies of law enforcement and emergency services.”

“I am excited to join the Mets for my first private sector role,” Sewell said. “The opportunity to bring my passions of community building and public safety to the Mets is truly a dream job. As someone who grew up in Queens, this legendary organization is vital to local communities and so many across the world. I can’t wait to help be a part of building this world-class fan experience.”

Prior to her time as commissioner, Sewell spent over two decades on the Nassau County police force. In her most recent position with Nassau County, Sewell was the department’s Chief of Detectives, leading the department’s twenty investigative commands along with federal and local task forces. She also served as a department liaison for community engagement to increase department transparency and accountability for police reform.

Mike Piazza, who has fewer rings that everyone on the current Texas Rangers roster, has congratulated the team.

No word yet on if Mike plans on attending any of the upcoming rallies….the ones to celebrate Bochy’s victory.

The Mets pretended they were interested in Yankees bench coach Carlos Mendoza according to the New York Post.

Mendoza, apparently a Yankees coach (I know you were like WHO) interviewed for the job which is obviously going to Craig Counsell, a favorite of Former Wilpons Intern David Stearns.

…

In other news, congratulations to Jason deGrom who was smarter than everyone and realized that Steve Cohen’s money doesn’t matter if you keep hiring bad GMs and don’t have any organizational stability…..and wisely went to Texas who are committed to winning.

Jake now has more rings than Mike Piazza.

The MLB Finals, in which a 6 seed plays a 5 seed, ain’t doing so well guys.

Fox’s telecast of the Texas Rangers’ Game 3 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night averaged a record-low 8.13 million viewers, according to Sports TV Ratings.

That was below the previous low of 8.15 million viewers for Game 2 of Rangers vs. Diamondbacks on Saturday night.  (Via Front Office Sports)

I imagine last night’s blowout didnt help things, although without any football games on I could see the number going up (baseball IS back!)

Hopefully Texas can just wrap this up, get Jacob deGrom his ring (?!!!!) and put baseball out of its misery.

The Baseball Mafia will have some excuse for the numbers, they always do….and hey attendance in Baltimore was up, and MLB engagement in Tik-Tok is up a zillion percent over Tik Tok use in 1973, so there’s always that.  Baseball is totally super popular!

I find MLB to be really really awful at marketing.  This is what they tweeted last night.

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?   Seriously, who are they?  Can you go 6 for 6?  Can you go 2 for 6?

WHY SHOULD WE TUNE IN?  What’s the hook? What’s the storyline?
