Why doesn’t this Mets lineup card use Mets font?

This caught my eye this morning (a zoom in of a @jareddiamond tweet) – look at the way New York Mets is written. It’s in “nice try” font. Or maybe it’s “what if in 1975 someone had changed the Mets font” font)

Is the answer as simple as that this is a road game and the Astros made the lineup card and they don’t care? But why would the Astros write New York Mets up top a lineup card?   Nope it’s a home game.

If you ever wanted a Mets Ron Herbel jersey here’s your chance!

We’ve touched upon this in the past with Alumni jerseys, but David found a new or updated site.

I keep finding that they are “out of stock”, maybe there was a run on Ron Herbel jerseys, but it’s fun to look at the names of people you could in theory get.  Unfortunately, 1983 Opening Day right-fielder Mike Howard is not listed.

Anyway, if you ever want to impress the bleep out of Greg Prince at his next St. Patrick’s Day party…

Thanks to David for the heads up!
