Omar Minaya in a black Mets cap with a red NY

Mrs. Mets Police just informed me that I have to go to the egg-hunt….

…oh awesome as I typed that sentence she excused me. Woo-hoo….

…as I was about to say, check out Big League Stew to see Omar Minaya in a black Mets cap with a red NY, and wait until you see who is giving him a “what are you wearing?” face.  At least that’s what I think mystery guest is thinking.

Black and red seems an odd color combination for the GM of the New York Mets to choose. If I just moved here from Australia and knew nothing, it’s a nice looking cap…but Omar, dude, lead from the front. At least where a horrible hybrid. They may be ugly, but they are official.

I’d post the picture but the AP Police are stronger than the Mets Police so off you go, I’ll be here when you get back.

Regional Nathan’s Hot Dog contest at Citi Field on June 26th

Old blog-friend TKS brought to my attention that there will what seems like a play-in game for the Nathan’s hot dog eating contest.   Come to Citi (I almost write Shea again for the millionth time) on June 26th, win and you’re in.  I think.

For all things food check out this very cool site Scoreboard Gourmet which has the story phrased properly, and also reviews a bunch of foodage (made up word I coined) at Citi.

Fan says he’s lending Lee Mazzilli bat to Mets Museum

As I surfed the net I discovered Jack who was kind enough to email me back.  I saw Jack mention that he was lending the Mets some items from his personal collection.  I was curious about the items, and how someone could potentially submit an item for consideration.

Jack emailed:

I think they are collecting items that they can’t get from the Baseball HOF or other sources.  I thought they would be interested in some of my game-used jerseys ( I have some great ones from the 60s & 70s ) but they are getting some from the HOF & didn’t want mine.  I am lending them a game-used Lee Mazzilli bat & a Shea St. dedication program from ’64…   I think someone would have to go through the front office /marketing dept……. Hope that helps,  Jack

I believe this is our first insight into what kinds of items the museum might have.  Sounds very cool.  A game-used Lee Mazzilli bat!   Awesome.
