Chris Rock.

He grew up in New York, always a plus.   Mets fan, that always plays well with other Mets fans.

As a celebrity he would understand what his players are gong through.

He works dirty, so he will be able to help Vulgar Pete Alonso with his alternate takes on Let’s Go Mets!

The t-shirt crowd should be able to do something like “Rock Citi Field”

The newspapers can go with “Mets Rock Phillies” etc

We know Chris can handle the media, and he’s unflappable in a sudden crisis.

 

And best of all, imagine this…..the Mets just lost in the 9th.  Steve Gelbs asks the manager, “Chris, how did it feel when Diaz gave up that home run?”

Now, imagine in your best Chris Rock head voice…

How did it FEEL?

How did it FEEEEEEL?

Once again I will remind Uncle Steve that his brand and sport are dying.  The game needs (get out your inner Rock voice again)  EN-TER-TAINNNN-MENT.

Throw Chris $100 million (lunch money for Steve) and give him a solid bench coach. The bench coach can take over in 2025.

This is a no-brainer, but the Mets are likely just going to do a fake search to check some boxes and then announce Greg Counsell anyway.

Will Chris Rock manage the 2024 Mets? Sadly, no.

The Mets want you to know

NEW YORK METS INVITING LOCAL SMALL BUSINESSES TO BE PART OF CITI FIELD’S 2024 ALL-STAR CULINARY LINEUP

The Mets are opening applications for Queens based small businesses to be featured at the Taste of Queens food portable during the 2024 season.

 

FLUSHING, N.Y., October 17, 2023 – The New York Mets are opening applications for Queens based small businesses to be part of Citi Field’s all-star culinary lineup in 2024. The Mets will select multiple Queens based small businesses to be featured at their community focused portable ‘Taste of Queens’ on a rotating basis throughout the season.

The goal of the Taste of Queens portable is to give back to the community by providing exposure for Queens based small businesses and helping them share their story with the fans at Citi Field. As part of the application process, the Mets are asking for businesses to share their story on why they should be added to Citi Field’s culinary lineup for a limited time.

“We are thrilled to be able to give back to the Queens community by helping small local businesses gain exposure to our fanbase with the Taste of Queens portable at Citi Field.” said Mets Vice President of Hospitality Taryn Donovan. “We were able to highlight some incredible local small businesses through Taste of Queens last season and are looking forward to building on that success for the 2024 season.”

The Mets, who were named the 2023 USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice travel award contest for Best Stadium Food, debuted the Taste of Queens portable last season in Taste of the City on the field level concourse. Last season, the Mets featured four Queens based businesses including Tang, Fresco’s Cantina, The Nourish Spot and The Arepa Lady.

If we can make this in low crown for a more humane $25 I would rock this next summer.

Taylor Swift.  Is there anything she can’t do?

Baseball is dying.  If they are paying attention they see the attention that Taylor brought to the NFL.

Imagine if Taylor Swift managed the Mets.  There really isn’t anything to do from a baseball standpoint – all she has to do is do whatever David Stearns says, that’s what this job is – so whether she knows anything about baseball or not doesn’t matter.  Just get her a good bench coach.

As the first woman to manage a MLB team, she will be making history and breaking down barriers.  That’s the sort of thing that appeals to Taylor.

Uncle Steve likes to be popular, so if he writes a big check to Taylor he will be popular with the Swifities.

Gelbs will become a media superstar as the guy who gets to ask, “Taylor, how did it feel when…” after every game.

Citi Field will be packed….and every road game will be an event.

The Mets will become a major worldwide brand.

I started this post out as a joke, but the more I write about it – this makes sense for everyone.  Get on the phone Steve.

Will Taylor Swift manage the 2024 Mets? Probably not, but only because the Mets tend to be stupid.  This is actually a no brainer.
