RIP Frank Cashen

[Edgy MD]

There can be no doubt.

Wouldn't take much brainstorming to arrive at bowtie.

[Zvon]

If going with precedent:

Though I don't think they'd have the bowtie in colors.
If I can do that in minutes the Mets should do better.

[Edgy MD]

Good job. Just write to them ASAP.

I sent an e-mail through their webpage, but I have little faith that it'll reach the right eyes.

[Zvon]

I sent it to Mets360. Hopefully they will give it exposure and then whatever happens happens.

They really should do something. An black armband is perfectly fine w/me as well.
Maybe you thought the idea about the players wearing a bow-tie was silly, but I thought it kool. All wear a black bow-tie. Can't do that for the entire season but for a day? A weekend?

I'd love a pic of a player in one for a card. Wayyyy kool.

[Edgy MD]

I didn't think it was silly as a thought --- so much as a challenge to execute with the dignity befitting the situation. Athletes can't easily wear constricting things around their neck during game-play --- but hang it too loosely, and it begins to look like clown-wear, which wouldn't honor the passing of a dignified man very well. And even the most well played execution would start to wear thin as the season continued.

[Zvon]

Just a clip on that they "clip on" above their top jersey buttons (or right around where a bow-tie would be).
For a day. Sept 13th- his birthday. Or some other significant date.

True, someone will probably say it's bad taste or something but fuck em if they don't "get" the tribute.

[Edgy MD]

Given a few months to get it right, I'm sure they'd find an excellent compromise between taste and utility.

Given 'til Friday, I fear they'd come up with a sartorial version of the scare wigs worn on Rusty Staub Day.

� On Friday the Mets will add a Frank Cashen memorial patch. It will just feature his initials, but Phil came up with a much better design.

It's the best idea for a memorial patch.

[Zvon]

So it's a little circle with his initials? That'll do nice.

I still wish they'd wear a bow-tie for one game.

Yea, a patch like that would be real nice.
