Is this the Seaver Statue going for a ride? How did it get installed in secret?

Several folks have sent me this.  Shouldn’t they have throw a tarp on it or something?  Do we really move such things with a $19 U-Haul?  I guess one doesn’t make all that many stadium statues so there’s probably not an official Statue Transportation Device.

How did this move around in the daytime with none of you noticing it being installed?  Wouldn’t you need some sort of Lift Heavy Thing Device?  Was nobody at Citi Field that day?  Not even a rogue employee snapped photos of the installation?  Nobody on the Subway noticed a statue being installed?

Hmmm.

Mets naming press box after Jay Horwitz today

Very nice..

Today, the New York Mets will dedicate the press box at Citi Field in honor of Jay Horwitz, the head of team’s Media Relations department from 1980-2018, in a pre-game ceremony beginning at 12:30 pm…The ceremony will take place in the press box and will be attended by Mets President Sandy Alderson and Mets Hall of Famers John Franco and Mookie Wilson

Hopefully nobody throws a boiler sponsorship on it. That got awkward with the Bob Murphy broadcast booth for a while.

Pete Alonso:

Last Game: 0-4

Career vs. ARI: .175 (10-57), 3 HR

Streak: 0 for last 6

And @mediagoon was at the game! He sent this over, which was todays giveaway.

Also thanks to @nycsporty for inviting me to today’s game. And thanks to Mr. Nobody for inviting me to the opener. Much appreciated. It’s just too much of a time commitment to go to Queens.
