Because when effWilpon smiles, it's news, baby.
And I can think of at least one direct descendant that inherited eff's perpetually dour mug.

I found it. I think Grimm cropped a sliver too much off of the (our) left, or M Donald side, of the Grant/Wilpon poster.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I think you're right. I'll see if I can fix that when I get the chance.

Cropped, but not fixed.

I love that some people seem to be thinking it's real.

[batmagadanleadoff]

It's not?

[batmagadanleadoff]

Fixed and cropped.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Wouldn't Joan Payson or Lorinda DeRoulet be the more direct analogue to Fred Wilpon?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I think this didn't take the Internet by storm because nobody on twitter knows what Grant really looks like.

shame!

@Willets: No

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yes, but it wouldn't be nearly as outrageous.

Yes, it's definitely more funny this way, but Grant was never principal owner of the Mets.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Although a Lorinda DeRoulet/Jeff Wilpon poster could be fun.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

There you go.

[batmagadanleadoff]

M Donald left and Jeff Wilpon right would also work.

Or an M Donald & Lorinda on the left/eff n Jeff on the right.

How cool would it be to make those posters and put them up around the city?

[Edgy MD]

I'd prefer Bibi De Relouet and Jeff Wilpon.

This is what I was thinking as of a few hours ago. Not just Grant/Wilpon, but a whole ad campaign. Ebbets Field on the left/Citi Field on the right would be next.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

How about Jay Horowitz on the left and Jay Horowitz on the right.

Officially requesting permission to run Don/Fred and anything else created in this thread in this vein on FAFIF two days from today.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Granted!

Just be sure to use this version, which corrects an initial flub of mine concerning the border:

[G-Fafif]

Muy gracias (or very thank you). I was looking for something for the day after March 31 and before April 2.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Look at some of the comments on the Facebook postings. (both on the UMDB page and in the thread started by Johnny Lunchbucket.) I think you'll find that there will be some who will believe it's real.

I could go for Mettle and Jeff.

[metirish]

Please make that ....

Well, I expect you have personal memories of the DeRolouets whereas I'm just pulling stuff from my ass (or was it Mettle?) I was going for the "child of the principal owner who manages things incompetently" and thought Lorinda was most involved with the Mets.
