This was one of my favorite things of the year. Mets By The Numbers uncovered it…and (Dave) it really should become a Citi Field staple.
Mets Dickey Mountain
I guess I should weigh in on Dickey & The Mountain vs The Mets.
If Dickey wants to climb a mountain, awesome.
If the Mets want to tell their possible Opening Day starter that they don’t want him to get hurt, awesome.
I don’t know if Dickey’s contract has an anti-mountain climbing clause or any restrictions on his activities.
At the end of the day (a lazy phrase) it’s not a big deal.
I guess when I excerpted from that WSJ article yesterday I picked the right paragraph!
Mets Police rerun: Mr. Met 1.5
Hey remember I was telling you how awesome the Mets Complete Illustrated History is and how you should buy it?
Well, I got to the 1994 page and saw THIS
WHAT?
WHEN?
THIS HAPPENED?
Now for me…1994…let’s see, I was really into my new girlfriend (you know her as Mrs. Mets Police) and I had gotten a full-time job, and the Mets sucked and we didn’t have the internet, so I could see how I missed this….
…but in 3 full years of blogging and ranting about how Mr. Met Prime (you can see him in the museum) is way cooler than Swishy (the modern faux-Mr. Met) not one of you mentioned this.
WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME?
The 7 Line’s black cat shirt
Nope not an ad, the shirt just interests me.
The Mets were playing the rival Cubs at Shea Stadium and a black cat walked the length of the visitors bench. This started the Cubs collapse and we all know the Miracle Mets went on to win the World Series a month later.
I wanted to go with a vintage look with this design. Adding color would make it pop too much and since the cat has to be printed in black I am going with a soft cotton grey shirt. These will be available in early 2012.

Mets Police rerun: Mets bowling shirts
This rerun actually features the most-read post of the year. From March.
…
Seems that for week 2 Team Izzy got shirts…
But not to be outdone, Team Wright got their own shirts for week 3.
For those of you playing Fantasy Bowling, Izzy led week 2 with a 239 and David a 181.
In week 3, Bowl Mole tells me, “Izzy was still high scorer (after missing the first game) with a 225. David was second with a 218. During David’s game he threw six straight strikes and Ike Davis was talking in his ear as he was bowling to break the strike streak.”
Next year I may have to book a Sunday stay-over and form Team Fat Guy down on lane 16.
