Too bad Muffy is not around for this.

I'm glad it's in August. Pride cometh before the fall and all.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Are the Mets the first team to have this promo?

[Lefty Specialist]

Special appearance by Jason Pridie? Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I'd be willing to bet the Giants have been doing this for a while.

the tweets say it's the first NY team and the first MLB team. I can't speak to the validity of that.

Wow, kudos to the Mets for taking the lead on this. And they still take print-at-home tickets too! What a good week to be a Mets fan.

Who do you think will be featured in the after-game concert? My money is on Toby Keith.

The obvious question: Why wasn't this included in the Piazza Weekend festivities?

Wow, I know the Mets were the team that drafted me, but considering that I never even reached the big leagues with them it's surprising that they're holding a whole day for me!

Ah, the Pride of William & Mary.

I checked again, but the Mets will NOT be having a group of lions out at Citi Field.

[Lefty Specialist]

Giants did it last year.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I'll pass, awaiting Hetero And Proud Night.

*starts holding breath*

[Edgy MD]

For the fourth straight season, they've taken a pass on my suggested Beatniks with Bongos Night.

And more recently as the baseball coach at, not surprisingly, Gallaudet U.

The Islanders did it first, and the Liberty pretty much live in that neighborhood. MANY baseball teams have also done it, including-- but not limited to-- the aforementioned Giants, the A's, the Red Sox, the Cubs (who've hosted one since 2001), the White Sox, the Phillies, the Mariners, the Rays, and the Nationals.

Good for them and all, but... well, a bit overdue.

Well, the Mets are the first MLB team to host an LGBT Night at [u:h9uwukqe]Citifield[/u:h9uwukqe].

They tried that in Chicago once. Didn't turn out too well.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Please

[batmagadanleadoff]

I wonder what the Mets think of unwed lesbian mothers?

[MFS62]

I wonder what the giveaway will be?
Paging Mr. Fman.

Anyhow, good for them.
