Caller to WFAN about lack of Mets sell out on Sunday

I’m thinking about suggesting to Fred that he rename the Champions Club back to Ebbets Club since nobody can be bothered to show up on Sunday to honor Doc and Darryl, Davey and Cashen.  At least people care about the Brooklyn Dodgers.

People are starting to call WFAN about this one..and it sounds like Evan may be a Mets Police reader: Audio of call about Sunday

I think we’re twitter buds at least. (@metspolice)

Still waiting for the mainstream media and other blogs to help move the needle on this one.  Sell this game out folks or Dave Howard wins.

Been a busy day here on MP – some stuff has already gotten knocked off the main-page…here’s a quick recap: a Sidd Finch jersey, the upcoming promotional dates (with pics of the umbrella, t-shirt and cap), 45% of vendors had citations, and Dwight Gooden has been found.

The 1969 New York Mets Yearbook cover

What a disappointing cover.  After all those years of watching our little boy grow up, the Mets decide to hand in this early Photoshop crap.  Who is that face on the right?  I want the kid.  1969 stinks!

Amazin’ly, yearbooks continue to be 50 cents after all these years.

In anticipation of our upcoming fall exhibition Nueva York (1613-1945), the first showcase to explore the long relationship between New York and the Spanish-speaking world, El Museo del Barrio and New-York Historical Society present Los Mets Vets and Rising Stars, an evening celebrating Latinos’ extraordinary contribution to baseball, culture, and the New York City community. Participants include baseball luminaries Rod Barajas, Alex Cora, Fernando Tatis, and Ruben Tejada, who will discuss their life in baseball, their rise to the major leagues, how they joined the Mets, and what they love most about New York, as they are interviewed by Julio Pabón, President and CEO of Latino Sports.

Rod Barajas, a 12-year Major League Veteran, plays catcher for the New York Mets. He was a member of the World Series Champion Arizona Diamondbacks in 2001.
