Reason #1,000,000 why the Mets should not wear black uniforms
Mets add cheesy fireworks to lame new Apple
I still consider this Apple to be new and not the real one. You may recall the Mets tried to BS us that the original one was in unusable shape and they needed to have this one – of course then the one that was so decrepit can now somehow live outside the stadium and have people climbing on it ever day.
And remember when they hid it under the stairs that first year?
Anyway….Fake New Apple now has fireworks for some reason
Mets will celebrate Pride Night but won’t wear Pride uniforms
METS TO CELEBRATE PRIDE NIGHT AT CITI FIELD
Seventh Annual Night to Take Place on June 16
FLUSHING, N.Y., June 15, 2023 – On June 16, New York Mets will celebrate the LGBTQ+ community with Pride Night at Citi Field. The seventh annual event will take place before the Mets take on the St. Louis Cardinals at 7:10 p.m. Gates will open to all fans at 5:10 p.m.
Pride Night at Citi Field is a celebration of the many New Yorkers and Mets fans from around the world who are part of the LGBTQ+ community. All night long, the Coca-Cola sign above right field will be illuminated in the colors of the Pride Rainbow flag and in-game programming will be focused on celebrating the LGBTQ+ community. A rainbow balloon wall will be installed at the top of the Jackie Robinson Rotunda to welcome fans as they enter the gates.
In addition, all fans in attendance will receive an exclusive Mets Pride Hand Fan, presented by Justworks.
The Amazin’ Mets Foundation will honor SAGE during a special pregame ceremony as that night’s Community Hero. SAGE is a national advocacy and services organization that has been looking out for LGBTQ+ elders since 1978.
Matt Rogers, a comedian best known for co-hosting the podcast Las Culturistas with Bowen Yang, will throw out the first pitch. The National Anthem will be performed by Jan Sport, a drag performer who is a lifelong Mets fan and has appeared in season 12 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and season six of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars.” During the seventh inning stretch, Bryan Ruby will perform “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” Ruby, a country singer, is a founder of Proud to Be in Baseball, a non-profit organization dedicated to advocacy, education, and providing resources for the next generation of LGBTQ baseball players.
Friday night is also DJ Night at Citi Field. Ty Sunderland will be that night’s guest DJ. Sunderland, a popular DJ based in NYC, is well-known for his sets at Pride events worldwide.
Fans can also receive a limited-edition Mets Pride hat by purchasing tickets here. A donation of $5 from each ticket purchased through the link will go to the LGBT Network. The Mets and LGBT Network have partnered to bring New Yorkers Pride Night at Citi Field since 2016.
Mayor Adams on Citi Field Casino to be built on Parkland: We are really pushing the use of public space
Wow I wonder how Steve Cohen, who may have given $1.5 million to Mayor Adams campaign feels about this.
In light of the controversy about a possible casino in the Citi Field parking lot, which is parkland and part of Flushing Meadows Corona Park, constituents asked about “the importance of public lands for public use and how that model is going to be used in the redevelopment of the Willets Point area.”
“We are really pushing the use of public space … I think that’s so important to determine how that space is going to be used,” Adams said. “The more open space we have, the more public space, the more parks … the more we hear from you in utilizing these spaces, I believe it creates the right environment for our city.” (via Queens Chronicle)
Matt Harvey News: The Dark Knight Returns… as managing director of multifamily debt origination and advisory unit
Via the New York Post…and thanks to Sporty for sending over but he’s still blocked mwahahaha
Former Mets ace Matt Harvey has traded pitching baseballs for pitching loans.
Harvey, who quit the sport last month after a 10-year career, has quietly joined commercial real estate firm Newmark as managing director of its multifamily debt origination and advisory unit, The Post has learned.
A source said Harvey’s job will be to develop new client relationships while he undergoes a “crash course” as part of the powerhouse Capital Markets Strategies division.
“I’ve always been interested in the many different aspects of real estate,” Harvey told The Post. “By joining an incredibly successful firm such as Newmark, I will be able to learn and grow from some of the best in the industry.”
I wager one dollar that this does not work out. Let’s check back in two years.
