What's the Mets themed loot under your tree/menorah/etc this year?

I got this. Going to get some shadow boxes and adorn my man cave with headlines.

Got this from close friends today ... will go perfectly in a
spot on the wall in my computer room.

All my loot from one daughter was in a re-usable shopping bag with a Mets logo.

you know, I don't think I got anything Mets themed..

oh yeah, a coworker gave me a Mets mug and Mets shot glass. Which is admittedly perfect.

I got a framed Shea Stadium blueprint to hang and a Mets beach towel.

thus far i've recieved no specifically mets-themed christmas presents this year. apparently santa claus thinks i need to step up my game.

i did get a nook hd that i can eventually festoon with all manner of metly content, and will shortly be receiving a photo book of my third year of the photo a day thing, which will have some metly content therein.

but nothing overt.

a shea stadium blueprint sounds freaking awesome. i need to angle for that next year!

THIS is cool. Someone Google that and buy some for all of us.

Two for me. A camp chair:


And the SOM "Baseball Heroes" set they released a few years back:

Closest we got to Mets swag was Strat-O-Matic and membership in the Kids Club for Lunchpail.

What year S-O-M? Is it an online version, or old-school paper and dice?

I once had a chance to buy some authentic Shea Stadium architectural blueprints form some late '90's renovation project. I still regret passing on the blueprints.

I couldn't find a picture of the specific Shea one online, but the one I got is in the same series as this Ebbets Field one:

Paper cards and dice. It came with 2012 cards for every team, which I guess is the most recent they had in the set. You may recall that 2 years ago I bought an "express" version that came with the 2010 all-star teams and fewer strategic feature cards. That also came with a $10 off coupon for the full-blown version which we cashed in.

We played a few innings of Baltimore-Boston this afternoon.
