The Mets Police: How To Cure Fred Of The Dodgers Crush

How To Cure Fred Of The Dodgers Crush

I guess this was "known" but it was news to me that Billy Crystal owns a piece of the Diamondbacks. I believe that he still does. Yet he was able to suit up for the Yankees in an actual spring training game in 2008 as a birthday present. He actually batted in a game. A spring training game but he played.

Can't the Dodgers let Fred be a Dodger for one at bat in a split squad game? Maybe even make it a throwback split-squad game and wear B hats. You've worn them before. (Of course they didn't wear them the first time the Mets hosted the Mets on Jackie Robinson Day because why would you wear the Brooklyn throwbacks on Robinson Day while playing in NYC?)

Come on Dodgers, let Fred live his dream. One at bat. Do it in a game against the Mets. We'll ask Frankie to groove one or walk him, whatever you want.

Let him be a Dodger for a day so he can finally become a Met like the rest of us.

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!
