You don’t own this Mets jersey: Richie Hebner

You could own this for $499 on eBay but I don’t think there is a single “Richie Hebner on the Mets” fan out there.

It’s refereshing to see that the Mets never had any sentiments when it came to giving out numbers.  I associate 3 with Buddy Harrelson so I was surprised to see Hebner got it.  He wore 20 and 3 with the Pirates but 18 with the Phillies.

A quick look to the awesome Mets By The Numbers reveals that the immortal Sergio Ferrer was issued Buddy’s number three.  I will have to dig up some old xerox copies of Mets Police ’78 – I bet dad went nuts.

A Note On Access And The Mets | The LoHud Mets Blog

Hmm interesting two paragraphs from Howard Megdal author of Wilpon’s Folly.

So it was odd that last week, Sean received a call from Jay Horwitz, the Director of Media Relations for the New York Mets, telling him that while the Journal News can continue to receive credentials, the Mets would not be credentialing me.

Sean asked why that was, and Jay responded that the Mets “don’t like my reporting”. The team declined to respond to my multiple attempts to reach them for a fuller explanation.

I feel like I need to know more about this story before I comment, but it’s out there in e-print so I thought I’d share.
