The Mets Police

I thought of the same trainers jokes you did. Be nice. That was 2009. In 2010 the trainers are cool guys that help diagnose knee problems.

METS TEAM UP WITH ALLIANCE FOR A HEALTHIER GENERATION AND PIX11
FOR FITNESS & NUTRITION DAY THIS THURSDAY, JUNE 10 AT CITI FIELD

FLUSHING, N.Y., June 8, 2010 – The New York Mets, in conjunction with the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, a joint initiative of the American Heart Association and the William J. Clinton Foundation, and PIX11 today announced the annual Fitness & Nutrition Day will take place at Citi Field this Thursday, June 10 prior to the Mets hosting the San Diego Padres at 1:10 p.m.

More than 5,000 students from New York, New Jersey and Connecticut will be treated to a one-hour educational program designed by the Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s empowerME Movement emphasizing at least 60 minutes of exercise a day and eating right. The empowerME Movement is a “by kids, for kids” initiative inspiring children to eat healthier, move more and be leaders in the fight against childhood obesity. To date more than 2.3 million kids have joined the Movement.

The program starts at 11:00 a.m. and will feature a video message from President Bill Clinton.

PIX11’s Dr. Steve will talk to students about leading a healthy lifestyle, and will broadcast live from Citi Field during the “PIX Morning News” starting at 6:00 a.m.

Mets Assistant Trainer Mike Herbst and Physical Therapist John Zajac will talk to students about how they lead the team in stretching and exercise drills, and help players prevent and recover from injuries. Mr. Met will also be on hand to entertain students and fire t-shirts into the crowd. At the conclusion of program, the students will stay at the ballpark to watch the game.

I will be on Call To The Bullpen tonight slightly after 10. If you hate black uniforms, love Lee Mazzilli and want some really generic analysis of tonight’s game – don’t miss it.

I was cleaning up the inbox last night and realized I forgot to get to this one.  I don’t think it got much play around the blogoverse since it was first published into Memorial Day weekend.

In a nutshell, some are saying that it’s easy to sneak into Citi Field’s employee gate, and this Fox reporter says he made it all the way to the field level without being stopped.

If this security hole wasn’t tightened up after the Fox story I bet it will be within the hour, so if you were planning on sneaking in…don’t.  Pay your way….and if you feel like ragging about stadium security there’s another place across town that is ridiculous.

We’ve been trying to name the 25 former Mets who managed in the big leagues….Tom wrote this very convincing email..

Shannon,

The one you’re missing (besides the guy who gave you Boyer, #24) is Norm Sherry, a ’63 Met and the manager of the Angels for two seasons in the 70’s. Sherry is also the guy widely credited with helping Koufax finally figure it out, telling Sandy to “slow down” his motion, which became that fabulous delivery we all can still see on video.

Tom

Works for me.   I think Tom is older than I am and he hasn’t lied to me yet, so if punking us with The Norm Sherry Hoax is how Tom has fun…he got me.

By now you guys should know I’m too lazy to look this stuff up.  I’m actually writing this Monday night and my back hurts from staining the deck.  I’m going to sleep.

Boyer is the 24th one, and for the other 23 read here.

The Mets are tied with the Dodgers at 25 for the most in the majors.  I don’t suppose we wanna try and make that list…let’s see Hodges, LaSorda…
