You own this Mets jersey: Danny Heep

During the long winter of Not Media Goon’s Mets Jerseys I let the You Own This series take a break.  But as part of Operation Inbox Zero it is time for me to begin processing the jerseys, and to start using all the jersey posts that I bounced all winter.

Let’s start with this cool one.  It is pretty cool…a Danny Heep, and David is taking it to Stitches to get a patch added.

Not @mediagoon’s Mets jerseys #112: B-B-Benny and the Mets

IMG_0318I figured I was next in line to show off some jerseys from my closet. Don’t worry, I won’t bore you with those you may have already seen.

This was a custom I had done this season. I didn’t own a black and figure I needed one and my first memory of being at Shea Stadium was Benny Agbayani’s walk-off home run in the 2000 NLDS so I went with that. Fun Fact: That night was also my first memory of going to Bagel Oasis on the LIE.

Spotted on one of the roaming vendors, but it’s also available in the team store.

This vendor is often selling souvenirs.  He usually has the Mr. Met puppet on his hand.  I remember seeing him years ago at Shea too, also selling souvenirs.

Pictures from Philadelphia – Batting Practice

As many of you know (if you follow @MetsPolice on Twitter) I had Shannon’s tickets for the game in Philly on Sunday.  Shannon’s only request – take lots of pictures. Before we get to the pictures, a few observations:

  • I saw a few dozen Mets fans scattered throughout the crowd.  What was interesting was that in a very unscientific observation I saw as many if not more Murphy jerseys and tees than just about any other named Met.
  • The Phillies crowd was pretty relaxed when it came to Mets fans.  A few friendly, or at least non-threatening comments here and there, but nothing like how things used to be (or how they sometimes are at Fake Yankee Stadium)
  • I thought it was a little disrespectful that the Phanatic started his antics during the opening ceremony for Jackie Robinson, but otherwise it was a nice tribute

Now the pictures.  I took some during BP (really love those solid blues) and the game.  The new roads look amazing.  The lettering really POPS even from the upper deck as you’ll see in some of the pics.

The Mets All You Can Eat Section

The Mets website lists this offer as being available to groups of 25 or more in the Pepsi Porch for as low as $35 a ticket. The first game this will be available will be May 4th.
