Mets scanning your face nothing to be worried about, the Mets are cool like that

I mean, they are just scanning your face to make your life better.  What are you worried about?

Artist conception of what Mets face scanning might look like. Actual experiences may vary.

From last week via QNS.com

A small number of protesters gathered at Citi Field…to campaign against the New York Mets’ use of facial recognition technology at ticket points throughout the baseball ground.

The protest, organized by Fight for the Future, Encode Justice NY and the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project (STOP), took place outside at around 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 21,…

Campaigners distributed flyers to fans during Wednesday’s protest in a bid to spread awareness of the use of facial recognition technology at Citi Field.

They also delivered an open letter to the Mets calling for a ban of all biometric data collection at Major League sports stadiums.   (via QNS.com)

Yeah it’s not like they would scan your face and then collect data and then share that data with other entities, and then you walk into Sbarro’s and THEY scan your face and suddenly your being targeted as Mets Fans Who Like Pizza.  That’s not going to happen.  The Mets just want to scan your face because they love you, and you love them.  Scan your face.

Lets check in on Pete Alonso

MLB.com tells us

Coming into Saturday’s games, there were still only 11 players with more home runs than he’s hit this season, such as Judge, who seems to hit another home run every day and seems well on his way to getting to 60 homers and beyond this season. Giancarlo Stanton has hit 22 homers for the Yankees this season, five fewer than Alonso but in 42 fewer games. Mark Vientos, the Mets’ young third baseman, has hit 20 homers in 81 games for his team. That’s 48 fewer games than Alonso, who has played all 129.

Man, I don’t know the Mets could ever replace Pete Alonso.  At least they have this MVP Francisco Lindor leading them to the 4th Wild Card.  Did all the media get their talking points last night?  Every article is Lindor MVP…but never forget Mets fans…never forget….

Prediction: Steve tweets if the Mets win tonight

The Mets have been doing OK against better teams.  Nobody likes a victory parade more than Steve (well, except a World Series victory parade – this is year 4 of the 5 year window)

I predict that if the Mets win tonight we hear from him based on his usual patterns.

If they lose, we won’t.
