The Mets Police: Amen About Kiner

Amen About Kiner

Shannon Shark, Mets Police Chief

Metsblog said it just right:

Ralph Kiner is awesome at 87. It seems like he’s now a little more boastful (rightfully) about his playing career than he was when he was broadcasting everyday, and it suits him.

I wish the Mets would do more to honor this guy while he is still around. Let's have another day for him and name more stuff after him....and yeah, the more unrestrained he is on the air the better. Any man who hit 54 home runs before 1995 and dates Marilyn Monroe deserves our cheers.

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).

We're in the middle of a series called "5 Questions for Average Mets Fans." Depending on when you visit the site it may or may not be the top article. Scroll down and you'll see some of the other types of articles we do....ticket plans, new uniforms, memories, anything Mazzilli or Seaver.

The site is updated several times a day, usually morning, noon, and night (cliche but true) with other items as they come in. Welcome!
