When Citi Field was built in 2009, Mets fans were outraged and rightfully so.
Fans were loud enough that the Mets built a Mets Hall of Fame the next season.
It was right next to the large team store and while it wasn’t perfect, it was decent.
I always learned something new each time I went to the Mets Hall of Fame.
Cohen didn’t seem to feel the same way.
This offseason, they expanded the team store to take over the Mets Hall of Fame.
Maybe even a bigger space.
What an absolute joke.
This would be an embarrassing size for a museum for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
This is no way to treat two World Series trophies.
The whole place feels like a shitty waiting room.
How have they screwed this up?
We literally have a fan for an owner.
This is such an easy layup.
This reminds me of when I was given my own office at work about 15 years ago.
Actually, that place was better than this “museum”.
As far as the Hall of Fame, I have mixed emotions.
They did move the plaques to a better location where they can be seen right when you walk in.
I do love that but it all looks thrown together.
I know some of you think I’m making a mountain out of a molehill.
The Mets are 0-3 and look like total dogshit.
But there is a lot you might’t control on a baseball diamond.
you’ve got the option to control a simple thing like respecting history.
I get Stevie wants to sell more shirts and caps.
Mets fans are pissed.
This isn’t just Frank The Tank screaming.
Only 22,222 (seriously) tickets were sold for last Sunday’s game.
I know it’s Easter but they also played on Easter last year too and the attendance was 33,697.
The Mets are a lifeless team right now and they haven’t played a game in April yet.
The biggest change on field to start the season has been a dance squad called The Queens Crew.
That’s not a joke.
Uncle Stevie, you want these dancers?
You want to sell more tee-shirts?
But don’t fuck with the history.
It’s important and pretty easy to do.
You have so many great resources from Gary Cohen to Howie Rose to Jay Horwitz.
Some teams have an individual building just for a Hall of Fame and museum.
Why can’t we have a nice thing like that?
If we’re going to go 71-91, give us something.
