We're gearing up locally here for another season of AAA Mets baseball and I am your man on the scene ! As was the case last summer my son will return to work there, in the gift shop for sure but also angling for a position in the media booth (which aligns with his college major and because I have a buddy who works up there and is lobbying on his behalf). This means more comped tix for my family and I so we're all in on this. This week's big story is that the team nickname, originally set to change from the Syracuse Mets to some new moniker for the start of the 2027 season, will actually not happen for another full season due to a copyright problem. They essentially picked a nickname someone else had already come up with. Mets gonna Met I suppose. This quote from the linked article above, though, is what gives me the most pause: Which means they're queueing up something cartoonishly stupid, you just watch.
