The Mets Police

Last week when I recapped my latest trip to Citi Field I mentioned this guy’s cap and shirt.

I love the shirt.  It’s a “Hawaiian” shirt with all Mets stuff and would make a nice present if you ever want to buy me something.

Then I cracked wise about the cap, saying that we should keep it away from the Wilpons because it looked “Dodgery” with a white NY on a blue cap.  I feared that the Wilpons would further Dodgerize the club.

Boy was I wrong!  It isn’t Dodgery at all…in fact it is a …

New York Giants 1936-39 Cooperstown Fitted Cap by American Needle Own a little piece of history with American Needle’s New York Giants 1936-39 Cooperstown Cap, a precise replica of what the legendary pros once wore.

This dude is super-cool and I apologize for goofing on his hat.  He has a kicking shirt and a groovy Giants cap on!

What’s also interesting is not one reader nailed me on it.  You know why?  because nobody knows anything about the NY Giants because this whole darn town is Dodgers obsessed.  Of course you don’t know what the Giants wore in ’36, how would you?  By looking at the Mel Ott rotunda?

I bought the Ott jersey for my self.   It’s too nice looking.  If you see a dude in Citi Field with an Ott jersey, heck if you see anyone on Earth in the 21st century with an Ott jersey I’m sure it is me – come say hi.

One of my goals for the weekend is to start accumulating all mentions of the New York Giants to this site.   There’s very little out there about them, I have no claim on them (before my time), and I don’t really know anything about them – but stuff should live on the internet somewhere so why not here.

If you’re in a Giants mood now, here’s an old link.

Mr. Cool shirt and classic Giants cap, I am sorry.   I hope you are there the next time I actually use my weekday tickets instead of stub-hubbing them, and I will come shake your hand.

(By the way, if you’re about to send me some link from mlb.com that this is indeed a modern New Era Mets variant don’t crush my dreams.  Let  me live the lie.  His blue is a little lighter isn’t it.)

Look what Mets Police Junior got in the mail yesterday.

You may remember that earlier in the year he was offered Giants tickets which meant that the list had gotten all the way to someone whose name when on the list the day after they won the Super Bowl.  So much for the 50 year wait.  Since he didn’t have $60,000 he had to pass.

Now the Jets want him.  That’s interesting because I openly hate the Jets (49ers are my team) and I sure as hell didn’t pay $50 to put him on the Jets list.  Did the Giants share their database?

I know one Jets fan who told me this week that after 19 years he told the Jets to go punt themself – he used to have seats on the 50 (uppers) but now they want to move him to the 20 and charge him more.  Looks like plenty of people are moving from the lower bowl to the upper bowl to avoid the PSLs.

The bubble has burst folks.   Fans have finally had enough.  It took 25 years but the great prophet Mushnick was right.

The Yankees fan known as Mr. Sunshine sent me this picture of tonight’s rain delay.  He does not seem happy with the decision not to play in such weather.

Have another $10 beer while you wait.
