Wrigley Field In December (Part 4)

If you’re a Mets fan you’ve probably taken the subway to Shea/New Place.   Here’s the Chicago equivalent.

Take a close look between those buildings…those are some of the “across the street” seats.

Another view from the platform

And here’s what the subway car looks like in case you’re curious.

From Day 1….1962

 

2. What is your favorite Mets memory?

Sitting in the loge by the right field foul pole during game 7 1986

4. If you could change one off-field thing about the franchise what
would it be?
New owners.  The fish stinks from the head down

you would change?
New GM, fire Dave Howard.  Listen to the fans…read all the blogs…put fans first.

New York Mets ticket office: working Christmas Eve but not communicating

Quick note:  Mets Police is more or less operating normally through today and tomorrow…so if you’re not celebrating, or just want to escape your family and surf the ‘net we’ll be here.

Two emails this morning from The Media Goon.  Goon has already renewed his tickets and asked for an upgrade.  The Mets have told him he has to wait before being allowed to spend more money.   Really?  Here’s Goon:

The Mets ticket office just called to ask me if i was renewing for next year. I told them I was probably in the minority of people that actually renewed and more then likely only person who asked for an upgrade too. I then go to him its really bad when your calling everyone to make sure they renew, even the people that already have. I won’t know about my upgrade till 1st week of Janurary becaue of the DEC 31st deadline

Don’t they check you off some list once you do pay?

But wait there’s more…

Someone else from the ticket office just called me..Told me they havent forgotten about my request for an upgrade. He is the one that handles all the sunday plans so he will be calling me back in the 1st wave of calls after Dec 31st about upgrading.

That’s good that they called him back.  I’m kind of surprised the tix office is working today.   Why make this guy wait, he wants to spend money – it’s not like they won’t have any seats available.   Maybe they want to make sure he gets a good upgrade, and it’s actually in his favor?

Frank Cashen wanted George Michael to replace Lindsay Nelson?

From the Wash Post:

In 1979, Wolf moved from WABC across town to WCBS. Michael said he began to search out new opportunities himself. Professionally, New York was becoming quicksand for him. He knew what he wanted and what he wanted wasn’t New York. He turned down an offer made by the New York Mets’ Frank Cashen to replace Lindsay Nelson as the team’s play-by-play man.
