The Mets Police

via @newyorkmets – this will be available for sale today.

Friends,

You likely have heard the story of the Giants fan who was beaten in the Dodgers parking lot for wearing a Giants jersey.  I find the story very troubling, and while it did not happen to a Mets fan or by a Mets fan, I do want to take this opportunity to address the fanbase.

Most of us are good honorable people.

There are a few who apparently cannot behave at ball games.

These folks do not know the difference between one beer, maybe two and seventeen.

These are the people that will curse all night, even at the home team, with hate and venom in every word.  Even if you are sitting near them with kids.

No fan should have to worry about other fans when attending a game.

If you come to Citi Field to root for the Nationals you should feel welcome.  We’ll let our guys beat your guys on the field and that’s the end of it.  Wear your Nats jersey with pride.

If you feel the need to walk around in a Jeter shirt or a Phillies shirt at Citi Field you should be able to without being harrassed by knuckleheads.

Baseball is just a game everyone.  A diversion.  Grown men playing with a ball.

This isn’t warfare.  These aren’t invaders from an opposing land.  It’s a baseball game.

Cheer, boo, enjoy, relax.

This is supposed to be fun.  Please have said fun and don’t ruin a good time for your fellow fans, even if they are rooting for the visiting team.

Please pass along in whatever way you wish…I’m not looking for webpage hits…write your own version or “steal” the words….it’s the message that counts.

See ya at the ballpark.

Here’s a snapshot of ticket prices for the upcoming series via our ticket partners at TiqIq.

Poking around the Mets Police Tickets site I noticed bargains even lower than what are reflected in this graphic so be sure to poke around at the site.

Remember, the Mets Police encourage you to reinvest your savings in the Metsconomy…preferably by buying traditional blue and orange merchandise as a team shop at Citi Field.
