Want to hang out with Mr. Met? Ever dreamed of putting "Owner" on a business card? Then you should pay the Mets $20 million to own a small share of the team! Absolutely ridiculous that it has come to this, but here are some of the perks:
You get a free trip to Spring Training (because if you have $20 million sitting around, you probably can't afford that), a trip with the Mets during the season (of the teams choosing). Don't even think about trying to go to Chicago, but have fun in Denver in April. Oh, you also get a single parking spot if you decide to deal with the shitty traffic to Citi Field!
On twitter, https://twitter.com/#!/BobKlap reported that "Sense around MLB is that Wilpons will be out of time unless investors are in place - and ready to infuse $ - by spring. #Mets".
This feels like the Texas Rangers all over again. Until new ownership shows up to throw some money around, this team is doomed. The front office needs to completely blow up this team and pray for David Wright to tear up the league in the first half and hope to trade him high. No longer can they just throw a band-aid on the problem and hope for the best. This team needs to rebuild, rebuild, rebuild. It's already been a terrible decade, besides around 2006, you might as well say fuck it for 3 years, because the longer this is put off, the longer it will take for the team to make a return.
- Access to Mr. Met, the team mascot, although the degree of access is not entirely spelled out. It definitely means you, as a part-owner, can schmooze with Mr. Met at Citi Field. It’s less clear whether you could get him to come to your child’s birthday party without a fee.
- A formal business card, complete with the prominent designation: “Owner.”
- And if you are a wealthy doctor, commodities trader or real estate mogul who wants to try to swat the ball over the newly pulled-in outfield fences at Citi Field on a Mets day off, you are entitled to attend what appears to be an exclusive kind of fantasy camp: “Owners’ workout day.”
