The Mets Police: The Former Franchise

The Former Franchise

all star game, keith hernandez, tom seaver

"I appreciate the historical significance of the All-Star Game and Yankee Stadium," Seaver said. "I got my 300th win there. But I'm not retired. I just put in a new section of my vineyard in California. As much as I wanted to be there, I just couldn't get away."

I hereby release Tom Seaver from any and all obligations to anything related to the New York Mets or their fans.

Keith Hernandez is hereby given all rights and responsibilities related to being the Greatest Hero Of Them All.

Let us have a ceremony, cheer The Captain, and retire #17 once and for all.

When Tom is done with his new vineyard he can go to Reds games.

He couldn't get away for 1 lousy day. Fine, with travel it's 3 days. Meanwhile, Willie McCovey, who can barely stand, not only makes it but stands up when introduced.
Way to show your true side there George.
I grew up a huge Seaver fan. I was at Yankee Stadium for win #300 AND I went to his HOF induction. Sure he's been a bit of a prick from time to time but never to this extent. Guess now that he has his vinyard we don't matter anymore.
Think I can get a Koosman jersey somewhere?

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!
