Mean Ushers At Yakee Stadium (Albany Times Union)

Interesting tid-bits from a writer for the Albany Times Union, writing about the moat.

When I tried to ask one of the employees about this lack of access, I found out a very interesting thing. All employees had been asked to sign a statement that they would not talk to the media, and he didn’t want to do it because he had already had one friend whose supervisor had threatened to “write him up” for doing so on Opening Day.

At this point, the employee sounded more scared than evil, which got me to thinking: Is the mean usher really mean, or just afraid of losing his job if he doesn’t enforce some awful policy?

The full article is here.


I too have found the ushers to be ridiculous.  When I went to the Cubs exhibition my seats were in 405.  As I carried a tray of dogs and beer the usher (who I had said hi to earlier) asked to see my ticket.   I asked him if he really thought I was trying to sneak into the last section of the upper deck with a 50 mile an hour wind in my face.

Two hours before a game if you try to take a picture of a five year old up close to the seats (and I mean the back of a field level section, not up against the moat) they chase you behind the yellow line.   I have found some nice guys who get it, but I’ve also found some sticklers.

New York Mets Mookie Wilson Sad About Lack Of 1986 Stuff At Citi Field (Mets)

The survey suggests that someone in Flushing is starting to get it…but until the stuff is up there, lets keep pounding away.   Today it’s Mookie Wilson’s turn in the Daily News.

“I was a little surprised I didn’t see anything inside,” he added. “To not put that in there would be denying part of your past – part of your rich past. We’ll have to wait and see. I think the ’86 team would like to be known as the signature of the Mets … you’d have to talk to upper management to see what they want to portray the team as. That’s my hope. I have no hard feelings at this point.”
On Friday, Wilson appeared on the Mets’ network, SNY, and was shown signing his name on a studio wall, the same wayDoc Goodenrecently signed an interior wall at Citi Field.

Most Popular On Mets Police (Updated 5/17)

The top story (for me anyway) is the Mets Uniform Survey… (part one here ) and (part two here ).  In case you missed it, the Mets are asking people about uniforms!  I found the timing interesting because they started the survey the same week I wrote these helpful suggestions for the Mets to get rid of the black uniforms.

Since this is up on Twitter now they can’t get too mad at me for posting….take the Mets Uniform Survey for yourself (unless you plan to vote in favor of black).

It seems like so long ago that the top story was Gary Bababooey Dell’Abate’s horrible first pitch. MLB took down many of the videos but this one still works.

You saw they put markers of Shea’s home plate and bases in the Citi Field parking lot, right?

The Mets may ignore the New York Giants but you don’t have to.

I once again pointed out that Jose Reyes is overrated , and that was before they won three in a row without him.  I guess I was wrong about them benching him.   Maybe.  It happens.

Always popular are the Citi Field pictures which includes a collection of obstructed views.  Folks also like seeing what it looks like inside the Acela Club and inside the Caesars Club at Citi.

Up in the Bronx, the Yankees are annoying with their obnoxious memorabilia sale , and the moat ….which is why I think that NYC is about to be Mets town for a long long time .
