What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
This pains me
Does anyone know what’s going on here? It looks like the Yankees have some sort of event where they invite ex-players like Dwight Gooden, Darryl Strawberry, David Cone and Lee Mazzilli to wear uniforms and maybe even play baseball. Do people attend these things?
Well it has been 54 years I guess since someone in my family last attended a Giants home game.
This park is AWESOME.
Already found some Mel Ott stuff and this…(hope u can see it)
Dave from Flushing needs to see how you can work team history into a park
Back to you Goon….
Terence let me know you can get a green version (with orange bill) here.
I still dare the Mets to try this with another nationality. I really would love to watch that play out. But the Fighting Irish, Lucky Charms and Mayor Bloomberg’s comments…it’s all fair game. Where’s Andy Martino when I need him?
What was one of the unique selling points of Citi Field was the fact that it had The Shake Shack. Now the Nationals are getting it?
The Nationals announced on Wednesday that renowned restaurateur Danny Meyer and his Union Square Hospitality Group (USHG) will bring the very popular “Shake Shack” concessions concept to Nationals Park this season.
They are also getting the other Danny Meyer food stands too.
Other new concepts from Meyer and his group include pit barbecue at “Blue Smoke,” Belgian-style fries and dipping sauces at “Box Frites,” and authentic Mexican food at “El Verano Taquería.”
Okay. I have an idea Shannon might like. Since the Nats took the Mets “unique” foods, maybe they can also take something a lot of us Mets fans don’t like. No, they took Ollie already. Maybe the can take the black jerseys, dropshadow, and hybrid hats.
To read the whole story was from Nationals Buzz.
Dan is out to upset me. He sent me this 1998 article from the NY Times. Meet the new public enemy #1
‘We want to be relevant,” said Mark Bingham, the team’s vice president for marketing and broadcasting. ”We want people to walk down the street with a Mets cap on, and felt that the black-based hat was a great look. We hear that it’s moving, that people are asking about it.”
Mr. Bingham is current an SVP at Completely Unnecessary Stadium in case you are wondering.
The article discusses how the Yankees were outselling the Mets 12-1 for reasons including tourists, these kids today, but curiously not the whole 1996 World Series thing.
Wear your blue Mets cap with pride Mets fans.
Perhaps some day in the future someone will figure out how to sell and market variant off-field merchandise- I will call them Fashion Caps….what do you guys think?
