"To all you hard working and low of birth
people: after you've put in your day of quiet
desperation performing some menial back
breaking task that's a lot different than what I do -owning
a major league baseball team, which includes first dibs on the post game buffet- come on out to
Citi Field. And hurry, because for a limited time only,
we're waiving the processing fee on ticket
purchases. We do this all for you".


"That was some pitch"!

I thought the Wilpons financial woes were over. But if they were I would think Jeff could afford sleeves.

I think I'm going to be "surprised" with tickets to the Sunday Aug 25th game (from my daughter).
Tom Seaver bobblehead?
Nice.
