Let us play what would Shannon say about this jacket.
Ugly Mets Jacket Last Night
Mets Have Seinfeld Night
Shannon posted the pic of the giveaway black hat from the Mets and Seinfeld last night. I was shocked he even held it long enough to take said picture.
It was a theme night showing Seinfeld clips, having the guy who played the “SOUP NAZI” walking around handing out prizes, Jerry “FRANK COSTANZA” Stiller singing take me out to the ball game, and Jerry’s man crush Keith Hernandez throwing out the first pitch.

The Mets Stars and Stripes Hat
I know Shannon posted before about how he doesn’t know how he feels about the Mets wearing this style hat tonight. I won’t mention my views about which way I look at it. I just think this is an UGLY HAT!
Mets Comment on Bin Laden News
Here are some reactions from the Mets Players after tonight’s game.
Terry Collins received the news of Osama bin Laden’s death in the dugout from bench coachKen Oberkfell.
“That’s certainly something bigger to celebrate than this, I can tell you that,” Collins said. “Obie came over to me and he said, ‘You know why they’re chanting?’ I said, ‘No,’ and he told me. It’s a big night. One of the guys [third base coach Chip Hale] said at the end of the game, ‘That’s as big a night as we’ll have in a long time. We got bin Laden and we won.’
“Obviously this is a big night for the United States. I wish we could have finished the game two hours ago and celebrated a little bit of it. We’ll take a nice ride home, take the day off and get ready for San Francisco. This is a good win for us, and obviously a huge win for America tonight.”
Beato said he focused on the game, but he had more of a direct connection to Sept. 11 than perhaps anyone in a Mets uniform on Sunday night. Beato had watched the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers from rooftop of Xaverian High School in Brooklyn.
When I was in high school, we got called into the auditorium,” said Beato, who had moved from the Dominican Republic to New York shortly before. “I thought it was like a routine thing. Five days into the school year my freshman year, I don’t know what’s going on. They called us in. They were talking about what happened, but I didn’t understand too well. Me and a friend of mine just went up to the roof of the building once we knew what it was. We saw the building just smoking from the roof.
