Some links for you to enjoy while I drive to Citi Field

On my way to the game…probably will be on twitter @metspolice

Some links:

This week’s jersey discussion prompted Matt to send me an email reminding me of his jersey design he suggested over the winter.  I’ll call it, pinless/no piping/yes racing stripe.   See it here on Metsblog. What do you think?

I really enjoyed this list from Mets By the Numbers: players who made their Mets debut in an extra inning game.  Which Met made his debut in the 23rd inning?  Yes I said twenty-third.   Answer here!

Rascally Nitpicking the Topps lineups

It’s Saturday and I feel like having fun.  Here’s some pictures of the Topps Cards displays that feature old players.

(I don’t really care but) there’s 9 guys.  Why not sequence them like a lineup?  Why have Willie Mays 9th when you can put Koosman there?  Why not put Mookie first?

Relax everyone, I’m just funning.  I don’t really care.

Meet Tom Seaver, drink wine

A three time Cy Young Award winner, and the only baseball player inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame as a NY Met, Tom Seaver is a man who has shown that true talent and hard work rewards. Tom now directs his efforts towards crafting world class Cabernet Sauvignon in the Napa Valley.

City Winery is proud to welcome Tom for a rare opportunity to taste and discuss his wines from the GTS Vineyards in the Diamond Mountain district of Napa Valley. First planted in 2000, this is the third vintage of the signature GTS and Nancy’s Fancy and will be the only NYC opportunity to sample the 2007 vintage up close and personal with Tom.

Ticket holders will have the chance to sample both wines and Tom will be on hand to discuss and answer questions on this very personal endeavor. The wines are produced from low yielding Cabernet Sauvignon on just 3 acres of prime Napa soil and are only available via direct mail-order. Production is small and sells out extremely quickly.

Tickets are limited for this rare opportunity to taste Tom’s wines in the intimate setting of Manhattan’s only functioning Winery

Please note, Mr. Seaver will not be signing autographs at this event.

Video of Citi Field 2010

As Mets Police continues to evolve, I had the idea to try video.  I have no idea if y’all care about video or will even watch a video but there’s one way to put out.

Here’s a video Media Goon put together that uses stuff from his cool flipcam and some of his better-than-mine photography.
