Oh yeah, Max Scherzer is on the Mets

I was bouncing around for content this morning – and there really is NOTHING going on – the guys at the Amazing Apple Insiderized Mets Blog Report are – and I am serious here – are writing about the defensive WAR of 1969 Mets like Art Shamsky and Buddy Harrelson.  I can imagine my father having zero interest in that conversation.  I can imagine my son having zero interest in that conversation.  I know I have zero interest in that conversation.

But, I get it AAIMBR millennials, you guys gotta fill the content holes.  I do too.  I just do hats, which I know are lame but I AM NOT EVEN TRYING.  I feel like you guys are trying.  Just throw up a cap post and be done for the day because…

NOBODY CARES ABOUT BASEBALL RIGHT NOW.

Tomorrow will be all about football, and baseball has zero buzz to lock onto because THE BILLIONAIRES LOCKED OUT THE MILLIONAIRES.

I went to Mets.com – they have nothing.   Then I bounced over to the T Shirt Guy’s Place and oh yeah Scherzer is on the team.  TTSG is selling some sort of election themed deGrom/Scherzer shirts that people are buying for some reason – let’s just say if we rank the Top 100 TTSG Ts this might not make the list – but oh yeah, Scherzer is on the team.

Normally that would be exciting, but we are like two weeks away from pitchers and catchers not reporting and three or four away from spring training games coming off the schedule.

I have 11 Star Wars movies, plus Mando and Boba Fett….could do a Clone Wars rewatch if I get that far, there are 22 good Marvel Movies, the first 700 hours of Star Trek before Kurtzman took over, I could rewatch 11 seasons of M*A*S*H, I could read books, I could go outside….and all that before I fire up X-Box Games Pass.  I am seriously fine if MLB never comes back.

But anyway, Scherzer is on the Mets.  Normally I’d use a picture of him in a Mets uniform but that doesn’t exist.  So I will imagine it looks like this.

Sometimes at those political rallies in Pennsylvania it can get a little chilly.  Or maybe you just want the deer to know what team you root for.  Either way, you are going to need one of these beauties!

You think you want Gary, Keith and Ron bobbleheads but do you really?

Didn’t we do this already?

My friends the Mets who have nothing to promote because they locked out the stars of the game, would like you to give them an interest free loan for some upcoming games that may or may not happen.

Anyway I know you guys get all excited about bobbleheads but what are you going to do with these anyway?  Put them in storage?  Blog about them during the next lockout?

You probably don’t even know what you did with your old GKR bobblehead.

METS & SNY CELEBRATE ICONIC TV ANNOUNCERS

WITH THREE-PIECE GARY, KEITH, RON

COLLECTIBLE BOBBLEHEAD SERIES

JULY 9, AUGUST 13, SEPTEMBER 17


Tickets on Sale Now at Mets.com/Tickets

 

FLUSHING, N.Y., January 27, 2022 – The New York Mets and SNY today announced a first-of-its-kind, three-piece, connecting bobblehead collector’s series featuring iconic SNY announcers Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez, and Ron Darling. The series, presented by Verizon and SNY, will provide fans the opportunity to collect three bobbleheads, each featuring one-third of the trio many consider to be the best booth in baseball. These must-have bobbleheads – which when put together will create one large piece – will be given away this summer to the first 25,000 arriving fans Saturday, July 9, Saturday, August 13, and Saturday, September 17 as part of the Mets 60th Anniversary season. Tickets are on sale now at Mets.com/Tickets.

 

Cohen, Hernandez, and Darling have been at the microphone for Mets telecasts on SNY since the network’s inception in 2006.

 

On Saturday, July 9 vs. Miami, the first 25,000 fans in attendance will receive a Keith Hernandez announcer bobblehead. Fans are encouraged to arrive early to pick up a bobblehead before the Mets retire Hernandez’ uniform number 17 in a pre-game ceremony that afternoon. Hernandez is a three-time Emmy Award winner for “Best Sports Analyst” in New York, taking home the award in 2009, 2012 and 2015.

 

The first 25,000 arriving fans can collect the next piece, a Ron Darling announcer bobblehead, on Saturday, August 13 vs. Philadelphia. Darling, who was inducted into the Mets Hall of Fame last summer, is also a three-time recipient of the Emmy Award for “Best Sports Analyst” in New York. He and Hernandez were Mets teammates from 1983-1989.

 

The Gary Cohen bobblehead, which will complete the set, will be given away to the first 25,000 fans at the Saturday, September 17 game vs. Pittsburgh. Cohen is entering his 34th season as a play-by-play announcer for the Mets. Cohen first joined the Mets broadcast team as a radio announcer for WFAN, where he called Mets games for 17 years.

Do the Mets think this looks like John Franco?

Maybe now that Steve is here we can revisit some of the plaques in the Mets Museum.  The Wilpons must have had their nephew do these.  Come on Mets….

For reference, this is how John Franco looks.  Also someone thought that uniform design looked good.  Yikes.
