Pete Flynn, Hall of Famer

Edgy MD Jan 09 2015 11:54 AM

MLB has announced that longtime Met Field Maven Pete Flynn has been inducted into the Groundskeeper Hall of Fame. In an accompanying statement, the Mets said, "Seriously? There's a Groundskeeper Hall of Fame? Don't get us wrong. We love and respect Pete to death, but... seriously?"

Near-universal.

You can tell how great Pete Flynn was by comparing his work at Shea to his successors' work at Citi. IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE!

Is it all this grass, or am I reading right-- Pete ISN'T in the Mets Hall?

Pete was given a "Longtime Terrific Service Award" or some such thing they announce for employees supposedly too many degrees removed from the competition to qualify for the Mets Hall. It's the same reward I believe they recognized Bob Mandt and Jane Jarvis with.

So far its been just 2010 Robert Mandt 2012 Pete Flynn 2013 Roland Hemond

In fact, he gladly took Tom Seaver off our hands in 1984.

What's this I'm reading about Mr Flynn driving the Beatles? Is it true he drove the armored car from the heliport to Shea? This is news to me.

SteveJRogers Jan 12 2015 12:21 PM Re: Pete Flynn, Hall of Famer

Great...googliy moogily... Conflated the Met HOF with the 2011 Baseball Hall of Fame Buck O'Neill Award for some reason...

Based on replies to the Mets announcement on FaceBook, Mets' fans are cranky about this. Should surprise no one.
