What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
I hate having to write news like this.
Mets Hall of Fame catcher Gary Carter has been diagnosed with four small tumors on his brain and will be going to Duke University Hospital for surgery in the next day or so, the Daily News has learned.
You can read the whole story at the Daily News.
Gary Carter is in our thoughts here at Mets Police.
Tom Fersch, the Senior Director of Group Sales for the Mets passed away late last night at age 49.
Howie Rose and the radio broadcast team stopped in the first inning last night to dedicate the game to Tom.
Fersch was a Forest Hills native an worked for the Mets since 1994.
You should read Uni Watch every day of course…but today’s Phil has 4 fan concepts for uniforms, none of which contain certain colors, and one of which I will share here. Go over there and discuss! I’d make the blue darker…and I prefer a solid cap, but Flushing seems to want a different colored brim…but this is a good start.
Speaking of uniforms…those better-selling Yankees wore boring white jerseys with pinstripes. They don’t even have names on the back. How does such a product sell? The Yankees should wear black jerseys.
I’ll see everyone on twitter @metspolice around 7. Deal?
I am going to disagree with the “surprisingly” part of the excerpt below.
Fans aren’t buying tickets as much. Expenses, HDTV blah blah you have read all that elsewhere. I’ll throw in $35 to park and the difference between going to Yankee Stadium 1977 and Fake New Yankee Stadium.
My Yankees fan Mr. Sunshine told me at one point yesterday he saw tickets available on the secondary market for $6.
Surprisingly, Yankee Stadium wasn’t sold out on Friday night.
The team announced a crowd of 47,874 for the first game of the Subway Series.

A 1977 Mets reunion!
