Carlos Beltran was the Mets centerfielder for several years during the ’00s. @realfilirican has this in his collection and it seemed appropriate this morning.
You own this Mets jersey: Carlos Beltran
Sandy Alderson ruins perfectly good Beltran and Aliens joke
Rats.
If you follow @metspolice on twitter you may have seen me joking about the various Beltran rumors. My favorite had Beltran going to the Cowboys…to star in Cowboys & Aliens.
Then Media Goon made this….and well Sandy, you ruined everything….

Mets ticket offer: Kids go free!
So this seems cool.
I will observe that it’s the second ticket promotion announced for next week…and that is right after the trade deadline….but I may be adding 1+1 and getting 16.
Oh…remember the $5 tickets? I believe they are actually $6.75 out of your wallet including fees and other fees. Still not bad.
But back to this one – kids go free. Get the next generation hooked on the Mets? SMART MOVE BRAVO!!!!!!!!
