The Mets Police: Pictures of the 1978 Mets Yearbook (Part 1)

Pictures of the 1978 Mets Yearbook (Part 1)

1978 mets

Today let's thumb the pages of my 1978 Mets yearbook. It only cost a dollar and I spilled chocolate ice cream on it. I actually showed this to Jerry Seinfeld one day when I was dressed as Clark Kent. He did a classic Seinfeldian low key "huh" (as in 'how bout that').

1978 was a special time, you could market your beer with a slogan that encouraged people to get Shea-faced.

The manager? Some bum named Joe Torre. This guy would hand in losing season after losing season. He was never heard from again in this town.

More tomorrow.

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!
