One more before bed…

Do not expect Vikram S. Pandit, Citigroup’s chief executive, to throw out the first pitch at Citi Field when the Mets play their first regular-season game there

To avoid another controversy, executives in Citigroup’s community affairs and government relations divisions have spent the past few months discussing their plans for opening day. They vetted their guest list, ruled out having executives throw out the first pitch and settled on a low-key approach, given the political climate.

But the Citigroup employees who attend games at Citi Field will sit in style. The bank has two luxury boxes and about eight tickets in the stands, the same as the other “signature sponsors,” which include Anheuser-Busch, Delta Airlines, Geico, Harrah’sPepsiVerizonand Xerox.

Empire suites include three high-definition flat-panel televisions, bar stools and sofas, quartz countertops, and carpeted and terrazzo flooring, as well as air-conditioning. Suite-holders receive four V.I.P. parking passes per game.

Just announce Seaver & Piazza already.  Everyone knows anyway.
