The Mets Police: Five Questions For An Average Mets Fan (Fan #61)

Five Questions For An Average Mets Fan (Fan #61)

Next in the 5 Questions series is Glenn.

When did you become a fan?
1. As long as I can remember! First memory is going to friends house in 1969 and seeing a ballgame on television. The entire city was watching (and it was a day game!);

Best memory?
2. Absolutely, definitely, 100% Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. Nothing before or after comes close (goosebumps now);

Worst memory?
3. Lots! But worst: the day Tom Seaver was traded. I was a young boy, and I wept (close second: blowing Game 6 of the NLCS against the Dodgers in 88.);

If you could change one off-field thing?
4. Better public relations. The Yankees are great at it, the Mets are a disaster;

If you owned the team what's the first thing you'd change?
5. Minaya and Manuel. We play a modern game, and these guys are totally ignorant when it comes to statistics and sabermetrics. The most successful teams of the 21st century play a different game.

If You're Visiting For The First Time

If you are visiting The Mets Police for the first time, welcome.

This blog aims to be a little different. We're less likely to complain about a pitching change than we are likely to complain about what the pitcher was wearing.

We're about Mets history and tradition. We'd like to see a Seaver statue at Citi Field. We'd like the black uniforms to go away. We'd like the team to always treat the fans with respect.

We're just regular old Mets fans like you who have migrated from the uppers to the Promenade where we were saddened when we found plexiglass. Finally, for all our complaining we just want the franchise to win the World Series (while nicely dressed).

The site is updated several times a day, usually morning, noon, and night (cliche but true) with other items as they come in.

Mets Police in no way claims to be news nor accurate, including anything to which we link. It's just a blog. Read the blog and/or take our advice at your own risk.

We strongly encourage everyone to support the New York Mets and their business partners, just don't wear a black jersey while doing so.

Welcome!
