Shopping At The Team Store On The Field Level (Part 1)

I don’t know what the Wilpons call the main level, so I will be all-retro and call it the Field Level for clarity.  if you take the escalator from the rotunda to the Field and take a right you will find another store.

I like this store because it has different things than downstairs, so its cool rather than redundant…and I found the coolest thing….

They are selling Dave Kingman jerseys!!!   How cool and random!!!  Of course the font is awful but hey  it’s a Kingman jersey.

There are better Seaver jerseys out there, unless it’s ’83 Seaver you want to remember.   With a bad font.

Tomorrow…something surprising, but not shocking, in this same store.

Shopping At The New York Mets Team Store (Part 13)

Another caps edition of the tour.  I like caps.

Some not awful civilian-wear

One thing I’ve noticed is that they don’t sell much Cyclones stuff.  There’s a batting helmet or two, but you’d think they would push the Cyclones a little.

I have tons more but I think we’ll head up the ramp to the store on the main level – and there we found a really cool surprise.

Bricks, Sterling, and I Can’t Think Of A Title For This New York Mets Post

Seems quiet in Flushing.  Some quick hits:

  • To the person who asked where I bought the Church shirts.  The Mets team shops. They were $5 last homestand.

  • To the person who correctly observed that the 1969 Mets didn’t have names on the back.  Yep.  However, a Kranepool jersey is still cool.


Would they allow:
“Thank God 2009 is Over”
“Bring Back Shea“
“Rubin 4 GM”
“Welcome to Ebbets Field“
“No More Dodgers Stuff” 


On twitter (@metspolice) someone suggested “thanks for the obstructed views.”

  • Someone has contacted me about a fan boycott.  Stay tuned.
  • I’ve been in the car on nights where the Met game ended before the Yankee game.  My new favorite sport is listening to Sterling completely ignore anything Suzyn has to stay, to the point of just cutting her off.  A typical sentence:  “Jones came to the Mariners in a trade foTHE 1 OH IS HIGH BALL ONE.”   Fun.
  • CONTEST:  We were doing “John Sterling calls the 1951 playoff” this morning.   Play along.  So far we have…“Branca deals.  It is high, it is far, it is gone!   A Giant shot to left!  Hold me now!  (think about it)  Tommy Boy!  The Giants win…thuuuuu Giants win!”

Finally, I really liked this comment on “More New York Mets Citi Field Fanwalk Bricks On Sa…“: 

The Mets are an out of control organization. There is no one there who is strong enough to say, “hey, our season’s ticket holders and fans are unhappy with us, and maybe we should curtail more milking of the cow…”

My Mets have become a joke off the field. From the noise, to the commercials before the game, to the action packed between inning sponsor fulfillment, to the 10,000 billboards in the outfield…

A joke.

They are a sordid and sullied bunch, that has lost sight of tact and class and dignity.
