View From Citi Field Section 431 – Mets Ticket Office Helping Fans Change Seats

Good news. One Mets fan who sent me these pictures of Section 431, writes the following:

I called the ticket office ENDLESSLY for three days and finally got through to the head of sales. I have switched these seats to a pair in the left field landing.

I hope the new seats are good….”left field landing” might not be great. However, I’m glad to hear the Mets are receptive to requests for seat changes.

As for these views from 431….I guess the issue is not being able to see the left field corner. As far as the upper level of Citi Field goes, this might be one of the better views.

Thanks for sending. Got pics? Send them to [email protected]

Gary Cohen: "The Blue Looks Great"

Hmmm….Gary Cohen just mentioned the uniforms and said the white were “almost pinstripes. the blue looks great!”

Keith Hernandez slyly added “my favorite color” before the inning ended quickly.

I love you guys…and Howie.

Charlie Samuels, are you listening?

Howie Rose Rips Black Mets Uniforms Again

Howie Rose had the following to say tonight about the Mets uniforms. (I may have one word wrong but this is really close.)

“The Mets are wearing their snow whites tonight, with blue, hey how about that! That after they lost three in a row in those black jerseys.” He said black the way a three year old says yuck when you make him eat spinach.

Keep it coming Howie. If anyone else hears Howie rip the black please let us know.

(UPDATE – in the 6th, Gary Cohen and Keith Hernandez made some sly comments about the absence of pinstripes. )

For previous Howie comments click here.

From today’s mailbag: “Mailbag: Black Mets Uniforms“:

I couldn’t agree more–I HATE the black uniforms.
I’m also not too crazy about the snow whites either. And it’s not that I’m one of those jerks who doesn’t think anything new can be good, but the pinstripes are the Mets best uniform, no question. They also need to lose the black socks/sleeves and the 2-color batting helmet. Your team colors are blue and orange–wear them.

Suggestions For A Mets Museum and "Metsing Up" Citi Field

So I was looking at this on Loge 13 and it made me realize that the Mets Museum and Citi Field would be a lot cooler had they not auctioned off the below items.

Stuff that might look nice in the hallways
A Double Sided Gil Hodges Banner. $2500
1999 Team Celebration Banner $500
1969 Tickertape Parade Banner $2500
Ray Knight 1986 Winning Run Banner $3500
Grand Slam Single Banner $1500
Stengel Arguing Banner $2500

Stuff that was on the press level. Sounds like cool museum fodder to me
Various “Mounted Yearbook Covers” 1962-2002 (odd) $500 to $2500.
Various “Mounted” photos (Hernandez, Rusty 1973 World Series, Mookie Game 6, Koosman-Seaver-Matlack 1976, Casey Opening Day 1962, etc…). Hey you can get up to $3500 for those.

A photo of Seaver, Kiner & Koosman? Let’s sell it.
1986 NL East celebration. Get some bucks.
Willie Mays? Oh wait he was a rival to the Dodgers. Sell it.

Mike Piazza’s famous 2001 home run? Hey we could get $1500 for that!

I could go on and on…..look at the list I know this isn’t new information, and I don’t know what sold, what didn’t, or where any of it is, but it looks to me like they had the makings of a good museum and sold it all off.

I’m taking Mets Police Junior to his first Citi Field game tomorrow. I’ll easily be able to tell him about Jackie Robinson (and that’s a good thing) but how will I explain who Tom Seaver was? “He was really good?”
