The Mets Police

The Yankees have something called "Old Timer's Day" where they invite back players who used to play for the team, and then 46,000 fans cheer for them.  Sure it seems like a lot of work and a bad investment on their money, but the Yankees do it anyway.  Imagine that.

The folks over at Googling God were kind enough to email me some pictures of the day.

Since the God Googler was the one who started the discussion the other day suggesting the Mets retire #8 for Carter and Berra..well thanks for sending me this picture.   Yogi is a Yankee.














This person made a bad jersey choice.  I don't think he understands the whole Yankee thing.

A real Ruth fan wouldn't even have a NY on front.  Go look at  pictures, when Ruth played they didn't have the NY on the front.

This man should be confident that if he walks around in a #3 jersey (I'll let the NY on the front slide) that we'll know who he is celebrating.









I have no explanation.   I guess it's nice that the Yankees recycle.
















Yankee aura and mystique includes a few lame things like Cotton Eye Joe and YMCA.  











Oh no.  Guys, didn't you read the Ruth thing above?  You can wear a 7, we'll figure it out.












That screen sure is big.

The Yankees invited back their greatest pitcher.   I bet that was a lot of work and probably a poor return on their investment.  Right, David Howard?








What a shame.  What a shame.   That's the old-new Stadium.   It's not too late guys.   You could just bolt a few new seats in the place and sell the new stadium to the A's or some other team looking to move.   It really would be for the best, including the across the street rivals.













To be fair to David Howard - wow that's an awful lot of empty seats for the ceremony.   Wow.

However, I have my finger on the pulse of Mets fans, I betcha Mets Old Timer's Day would sell out in 2010.   The 1969 game is going to do well...so will OT2010.





Finally, God Googler knows what the best food choice at Yankee is.    Get the shake.  It will fill you up.
