Topps 1977 Tom Seaver card

Good morning – the goal for today is not to mention what the Mets wear or what color that might be.

Here’s one of those “stumbled across this while looking something else up” posts. This card gives me chills. I loved this card.

Mets Police Tickets Facebook Page

Hello..if you are on Facebook, you may choose to “like” the Mets Police Tickets Facebook Page which through my partnership will keep you up to date on bargains on the secondary market.  As I’ve stated before I am a capitalist and yes I would see a piece of the action should you choose to buy a ticket through that method.

While Facebooking why not also “like” the Mets Police page?

Oh, and as always the Mets Police are not out to hurt the Mets financially (especially not in these troubled times) – so if you do choose to explore the secondary market please re-invest your savings in a blue cap, hot dog or Lee Mazzilli jersey….

…speaking of which, Junior told Mommy that “sometimes Daddy makes $100 from his blog” and she immediately shot back (jokingly) “and je buys another jersey.”  She’s a good woman and has figured out the system.

This ends tonight’s commercial messaging.  Normally this is where I would say “we now resume complaining about black uniforms” but even I am sick of the topic!  Tomorrow is Uniform Free Tuesday! There will be no discussions of what the Mets wear, unless they release a surprise announcement and force my hand.

Black has now ruined the Franchise Mets caps too

Must black ruin everything?

You think you look good in your John Franco jersey? I get it.

You like the hybrid cap because you’re an aficionado of purple? I get it

But here’s some horrible news from Sparks about the Franchise caps (the nice blue and orange kind, looks a tad worn, and has been my go-to cap for the last few years)

I bought a new since, as I’ve mentioned on the site, my dog chewed up my last one. It came today. Check out the logo on the back.

Yes, even the Blue Cap Army’s weapon of choice has now been infected with the Black Plague.

For reference, I’ve also attached a pic of the apparently tasty-to-canines one I bought in 2009.

Here is the 2009 back:

And the dreaded 2011 version. Why the f%$# did they add this black logo to a great cap?

I know that I am supposed to believe “black sells” but is this crappy black Mets script on the back really a difference maker?

By the way as of 7:30 on Friday night, the blue cap was still the #2 seller on the Mets shop. There was no black in the Top 5. Hey Mets, it’s your website not mine…what’s selling? You tell me. Did I mention the 50th anniversary is coming?

I will have to protect my Franchise cap (no-black edition) since my new dog has already chewed two hats this year.
