An idea for a Mets fans' Mutiny

Watch this clip. After watching it, I found double meaning. I just wanted to post it because a 3 second piece of it was used in a video at Shea (I'll swear it goes back to the early '90s at Shea unchanged to the final day) prompting fans to make some noise and chant "LET'S GO METS".



After seeing the clip, it probably covers our feelings as fans right now and could make for a great mutiny (something I was jokingly thinking about last week). It looks weird seeing that 3 second clip in the context of a movie.

Thanks to Michael Ganci from The Daily Stache for providing the quote. I was actually trying to remember it so I could find the video. The video is from a movie called "Network" from 1976.

Branch Rickey discusses a new baseball league

I must share this post that I found on Newsday columnist Neil Best's blog.

Branch Rickey is discussing the new (now defunct) Continental Baseball League in 1959 on the TV show What's My Line.

Muppets News Flash

Here is a Muppets News Flash. Dateline Flushing, NY - The New York Mets will be honoring their history in a celebration of the 1969 World Championship team on Saturday August 22. This comes on the heels of a month in which the Mets completely ignored their history. Film at 11.

Remembering Shea - all together now - part 3

One of the items of the day that came up on some of the other blogs was that there was an impromptu press conference with Chris Swann and some of the reporters that came out, just asking questions about what we're doing (I don't really remember any questions being asked, but I was photographed on another blog standing next to a cameraman from Newsday.com). This is Chris in the middle of the photo with the '69 on the sleeve.



At the end, someone suggested that we sing both "Meet the Mets" and then chanting "Let's Go Mets".

My videos cover just a piece of each. That is partially because I didn't know it was coming, and partially because I had gloves on (it was below freezing today) and couldn't operate the camera buttons (to change from photo to video and start/stop) fast enough.

Meet the Mets


Let's Go Mets

on the field at Shea

This is from GaryKeithAndRon.com day at Shea, which was the 2nd-from-last game at Shea Stadium. I'm the one holding the camera, walking on the field in front of about 1200 die hard Mets fans who bought tickets to the bleachers from garykeithandron.com to support their causes and buy & wear their t-shirts.
