Mets fans unite

Mets fans unite. Come together next Sunday to see the Mets honor Doc Gooden, Darryl Strawberry, Davey Johnson, and Frank Cashen. Forget about the troubles that Fred and Jeff Wilpon have brought on Mets fans with Citi Field (bad seats, high prices, expensive parking). Forget about the troubles of Omar Minaya and Jerry Manuel and the coaching staff with the current day Mets and the Mets teams of the past few seasons.

Come together to support the team's history, in a rare occurrence in which ownership chooses to honor it. We don't have Old Timer's Day. We no longer see the fan-favorite Banner Day. In the past 4 years, the Mets have honored milestone anniversaries for both of the team's championships. It's about damn time they did something beyond that.

I'll be there, bright and early, and probably jet-lagged from having just returned from England.

It gets harder and harder to root for this franchise.With Daddy Warbucks Wilpon and Son of Wilpon pissing on team history its no suprise they did away with old-timers day and banner day.These gentlemen lost the connect with their fans long ago.As long as they own the Mets expect more of the same.I laugh when I watch SNY and YES.One celebrates their franchise,the other shows infomercials and specials on a team that no longer exists.

Mark, would you have a problem if the Mets had an Old Timer's Day that included a few old living NY Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers who never were part of the Mets themselves? I agree that under Wilpon & Son, it will be more of the shame.
