What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
This is an NY away from being Generic Tourist Hat
Man, what’s more iconic in Queens than the traditional Mets block print and a Guy Fieri Pastrami on Rye. God I hate 2020s MLB.
For Players Weekend, next weekend for anyone who cares, there are caps with the numbers on the side in wacky fonts.
Someone at MLB makes a lot of money to come up with these ideas.
The jerseys appear to be the same so this, but with caps that are somehow terrible but better.
Wouldn’t that design work better with these?
Whatever. I’ve watched two pitches all summer and that’s a real number. I have no interest in any of the humans currently playing in Queens and actively dislike two of them, and they have numbered caps!
Developers and businesspeople behind proposals to bring casinos to the five boroughs have cut five- and six-figure checks to the New York State Democratic Committee’s accounts since the start of 2023, according to state and federal campaign finance records.
…
Steve Cohen is the state Democratic Committee’s single largest donor, according to a Gothamist analysis of state and federal campaign finance records.
..
Cohen contributed a total of $235,000 to the state Democratic Party since the start of 2023. That’s on top of $167,500 he gave the party’s committees in the prior two-year cycle and $109,600 he gave in 2018, according to state records.
Since the parking lots surrounding Citi Field are technically parkland, Cohen needs the state Legislature and Hochul to approve a bill to alienate it for his casino bid. He struck out during the 2024 legislative session, when Sen. Jessica Ramos of Queens — a Democrat who represents Willets Point — declined to introduce the bill.
Cohen will try again in 2025. A spokesperson for his investment firm, Point72, declined to comment Wednesday.
I will comment that the area is not “technically” parkland, that’s like saying Earth is “technically” a planet. It’s parkland, and it’s not meant to be a casino.
By the way $235,000 sounds like a lot of money but it’s not really that big a number. Now, $1,800,000,000 , thats a big number. You wonder what motivates a person to write that kind of check.
The New York Mets, in partnership with New York Blood Center (NYBC), will host their annual Summer Blood Drive presented by NewYork-Presbyterian on Monday, August 12 from 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. in the Piazza Club at Citi Field.
Fans donating blood will receive a voucher redeemable for two tickets to a select Mets regular season home game during the 2024 season with exclusions and based on availability.
NYBC has issued an urgent call for type O+ and O- blood donations. Type O+ is the most common blood type, representing nearly 40% of the U.S. population. Type O- is the universal blood type and is commonly used in emergency settings. Type O shortages are being reported across the U.S. and are impacting local hospitals, with the current inventory of type O blood at its lowest levels since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. A shortage of both types, both locally and nationally, poses serious concerns for our healthcare system, and the need for donors is critical.
Donors must be 16 years of age (with parental consent), weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good health. As always, people are not eligible to donate if they are experiencing a cold, sore throat, respiratory infection or flu-like symptoms. To view current eligibility guidelines, visit nybc.org or call 800.688.0900.
WHEN: Monday, August 12
10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
WHO: Mr. Met will be in attendance from 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.
WHERE: Piazza Club at Citi Field
Media may park in Lot G off Seaver Way and enter through the Hodges VIP entrance.
