The Mets Police: Don't Retire Babe's Number

Don't Retire Babe's Number

The Babe's granddaughter is trying to get MLB to retire #3 for all teams.

Don't.

#3 is already retired by the team Babe Ruth is most associated with. That's plenty.

Will we retire Barry Bonds number everywhere? He has better numbers and sold more tickets.

I'm not in favor of the league wide retirements...such as Wayne Gretzky's #99.

Babe was not only the greatest player in the history of the game - by far - he was also a huge, pioneering force in charity.

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!
