The Mets Police: No "1969" On Mets Promotions Calendar? (Mets Walkoffs)

No "1969" On Mets Promotions Calendar? (Mets Walkoffs)

The very cool Mets Walkoffs blog sent this over.

With all the giveaweays, there's nothing 1969 oriented. Go read their breakdown of the dates.

Let's see 1969 + 40 equals....the 54th anniversary of the Dodgers winning the World Series!

So right about here I was going to post a sarcastic link to a news story from 1969 and I was going to write something like "did the Mets win something in 1969?"

Then I found this (below)....looks like some things never change! We were complaining back then!

Championship Flag Stirs Fans, but Some Think It's Too Small

$3.95 - New York Times - Apr 15, 1970
One of the least foreseen ceremonies of the 20th Century, the raising of a "world champions" flag by the New York Mets, took place at Shea Stadium yesterday ...

Maybe next year the Mets can hold "40 years of complaining night!"

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!
