Unnamed Donuts Chain and the Binghamton Mets Turn Two to Generate 72 Pounds of Coffee For Food Bank of the Southern Tier – WIVT/WBGH Newschannel34

Binghamton Mets Manager Wally Backman joined (an unnamed Donuts Chain) franchisees today to donate 72 pounds, or three cases, of coffee to the Food Bank of the Southern Tier. The donation – the equivalent of more than 3,600 cups of coffee – was fueled by a season-long partnership between the Mets and (the unnamed Donuts chain).

I continue to try to be friends with this Donuts Chain but they keep ignoring me like the hot cheerleader they are. Wouldn’t it be nice to see a sponsored post every week where we could plug some of their cool products?

Increasingly people “notice” I am a Mets fan as if it’s something weird

I wear a lot of Mets attire when I’m not dressed as Clark Kent.

Growing up in Queens in the 80’s amongst the front-runners that was never a weird thing.

25 years later out here in Yankees Country (that’s everywhere outside Citi Field to somewhere in Connecticut and somewhere along the Delaware River) people have started to comment about my Mets stuff.

The vibe is always like “poor you” as if I’m some stupid Cubs fan or something.  Or like it’s weird.  Or why am I not a Yankees fan like everyone else?

I have come to enjoy the feeling.

Yep, I’m a Mets fan.  Remember that when the cycle comes back around.

….

Now about that cycle coming around?  What if it doesn’t?  Am I destined to be some octogenarian blogger talking about a team that won 65 years ago?

How many years has to go by until we’re one of “those” teams like the Cubs?

Here’s some wikipedia to ponder.  I don’t feel like the Brewers are one of “those” teams so we have some cover.  I suppose the Astros enter the club next year going 0 for half a century.

So figure around 2036 I will start to harp on this point.  I wonder what the 50th anniversary patch will look like.

Seasons Team Last championship won Last World Series appearance
102 Chicago Cubs 1908 1945
62 Cleveland Indians 1948 1997
