Mets Banner Day Date Announced

Okay, so this isn’t the big news we were looking for while Shannon is away for business. The Mets however have kept the tradition of when he is away they announce something. This being something he fought for since he started Metspolice. Shannon has been trying to figure out what date it was going to be on since the Mets announced that Banner Day was returning this year.

Hey Shannon, I know its Memorial Day weekend but is that a weekend you have to be away for business? Or are we both going to go to this game against the Padres?

Update: Just came across twitter. You can buy the Banner Day Ticket Package.

Mets RA Dickey Speaks at Tenn. Baseball HOF Leadoff Banquet

This is an fourteen or so minute video of RA Dickey giving his speech at the Tennessee Baseball HOF Leadoff Banquet. As always RA is a great listen. I could literally listen to him talk all day. Some of the interesting things that popped out to me were that if his wife was there with him at the dinner he would have introduced her as the smoking hot blonde on the end. The other thing is how much he really appreciated his time in college with his coaches and how the team and the coaches had heart. He also talks about learning the Knuckleball who he consulted about it and the new documentary coming out about the pitchers who have used it.
