Hi there!
The site has picked up lots of new readers this week so I thought I would say hi and catch you up on what goes on around these parts.
Mets Police is a fan advocacy blog focused on mostly off-field events. I don’t do too many game specific posts, and when I do talk about on-field events it is probably in the same style that you have with your buddies.
I’m just a fan in the uppers. I go to a game every other week. I sit upstairs. I watch SNY. I’m 40-something so I am partial to Tom Seaver, anything 80’s and openly have a man crush on Lee Mazzilli.
When the blog works best it’s a week like this. You guys send me a story idea, we discuss, sometimes some good comes of it.
When there’s nothing going on (like most of October) we’ll talk about random things like a cool Mets jacket I saw on the street, or an old yearbook cover, a forgotten player, an anniversary of some kind, or my dislike of the black uniforms and the two toned caps we call hybrids.
My goal is the same as Sandy Alderson. Encourage a tradition of winning and honor. Not just on the field but in how the fans interact with the team, and with each other.
I write like I speak. Choppy. I overuse the word “so.”
The site is updated a few times a day, slightly more casual topics on weekends, and a few other guys help me out.
I can be reached at [email protected], I am on Twitter @metspolice where I interact (it’s not just links to the site), Shark is not a real name (it is my beloved late golden retriever, see my Facebook photo, and she died 3 years ago today) but the alias keeps her name alive and gives me plausible denial with Dayjob Boss.
As we learned, the blog is read by Mets executives. If YOU want to be heard, this is your forum. Bring up topics and write up guest posts. Email me at [email protected] and tweet @metspolice
Thanks for reading!
