The Mets Police: Five Questions For An Average Mets Fan (Fan #73)

Five Questions For An Average Mets Fan (Fan #73)

Next up is a fellow who goes by 5w30

1. When did you start following the Mets?

I have very faint memories of running off the school bus into my house for game 5 of the 1969 World Series, watching it on our brand new color TV.

2. What is your favorite Mets memory?

Being at Big Shea for games 6 and 7 of the 1986 World Series. With unlimited access. Champagne stings the eyes.

3. What is your worst Mets memory or experience?

The last three seasons. Unfathomable.

4. If you could change one off-field thing about the franchise what would it be?

Freddy and Jeff Wilpon, Uncle Saul and others must sell. Hey, half of the Dodgers may be up for sale due to divorce. Sell the Mets and buy part of the team the Wilpons revere.

5. If you owned the team starting tomorrow, what is the first thing you would change?

Mr. Minaya, here’s a fat envelope. Thank you for your service. And in the words of the immortal Ralph Kiner … he’s going, going, gone goodbye!

Fan #73. That's Joe Klecko, of course, who played in Shea as a member of the J-E-T-S.

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!
