What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
A fun read for fans of Lee Mazzilli, and who isn’t?
Lee liked pinball and Space Invaders and would stay up playing until 3am, according to Charlie Samuels in 1980. It’s good to see that in 1980 Lee and I liked the same things…Lee and Space Invaders.
Cool Lee Mazzilli Article that has Mazzilli as only the 30th best Met of all time. 30th? Name 29 better Mets. No way. I dare you. There are like three tops.
From a 2000 Sports Illustrated – you are going to have to squint. Sorry.
For “the best” he didn’t last long. Then again neither did Baerga or Robbie Alomar.
Good morning Mets fans, Shannon here to tell you about our new friends at TiqIq. As you know, The Mets Police always encourage you to support the Mets financially (Madoff jokes aside) and I hope you’ll attend lots of games this season.
Should you choose to partake in the secondary ticket market, as many of us did in 2010, I invite you to try Mets Police Tickets which is part of a partnership with TiqIq.
On the main page of the site you’ll see a widget will have regularly updated graphics and information. The widget clicks through to a cool looking page that’s all about tickets.
TiqIq will also be hooking me up with various ticket related stories and graphics…for example:
As you poke around the page you’ll be able to easily tweak the data to break it out by individual sections (if you’re like me you may like searching the Promenade.)
Why did we partner with these TiqIq folks?
1. Aggregated Listings: They aggregate all major sellers in the market so you can find the best deal.
2. TiqZone Categorization: They break each venue up into TiqZones, which are groupings of sections that they’ve determined are comparable in value.
3. TiqIQ Statistics: They provide ticket-level buying intelligence through their IQ rating and TiqIQ Statistics.
4. E-Ticket Filter: Want tickets last minute? You can find all the available e-tickets so you can print your tickets from home or the office.
5. All-in Pricing Option: Before you complete your sale you’ll be able to tell exactly how much your tickets will cost including all service and shipping fees.
And remember Mets fans, always support the Mets – with your extra savings why not attend even more games, buy an extra hot dog, or encourage non-black attire by buying lots of blue caps and any type of blackless jersey?
…
Yes, I get a commission on any ticket purchase you make through the page. As previously discussed, I am a capitalist. I’ll probably just buy a Lee Mazzilli jersey with the proceeds anyway.
For your post Super Bowl enjoyment…
This is a “proof of concept” video series I have been making to encourage SNY to develop this into some quality rain delay filler. Imagine it with Howie Rose doing the voice, and some access to players and footage, real editing equipment, real editors etc. This version is a fat guy, the internet and an iphone app that makes videos look “old.”
Next week: The Subway Series.
If you’re a superfan and you are wondering what happened to Episode 3 – I decided I can do better than what I was going to release, so I am going to re-edit it. So this is episode 4, then “2000” is episode 5.
Please share, like, tweet, embed on your site, write the President, mention it to Saul Katz and Mark Cuban – whatever gets this thing produced. Unless of course you actually enjoy Beer Money.
If for some reason the video isn’t part of this post (we have a site-bug and I went to bed as soon as the game ended) you can watch it on youtube here.
