Apparently, they're wearing the first responder hats for this. Who knew all it would take would be a global pandemic, America's race-problem reckoning, and being out of town in New York during a shortened season? Who's wearing the NYPDs? PLACE YA BETS

Well, that's downright weird.

All previously held norms are out the window this year. And it didn't start with the coronavirus. It started with the Nike patch!

Remember, first pitch sked for 1837 EDT tonight.

kcmets Sep 11 2020 12:59 PM Re: IGT 09/11 - NYM at TOR in BUF - Let's Make a Chain Now

So long as there's no maga, kaga or taga hats it's all good.

2001: Dozens of NYPD officers and hundreds of FDNY firefighters are killed desperately trying to rescue New Yorkers from a stunning terrorist attack. Mets Players: "What an incredibly inspiring sacrifice. Let's wear the hats representing the agencies of the fallen, that their sacrifice will be honored and remembered." Mets Management: "That's nice dear. Don't be out too late." Mets Players: "Wow, that was an emotional experience. The goodwill of the hat gesture radiated throughout the city and touched hearts everywhere. Let's keep wearing them the rest of the season!" Mets Management: "Wait ... did we actually give permission for this? Oh shit. There's going to be hell to pay." 2002–2019: The anniversary of the attack and the deaths of the noble responders approaches. Mets Players: "We all said we'll never forget. We need to wear those hats again this season, if only on the anniversary." Mets Management: "Not if you know what's good for you." Mets Players: "Excuse me? Wait, this was a gesture of goodwill of that radiated throughout the city and touched hearts everywhere. It became part of our brand." Mets Management: "Any change in uniform has to be cleared with the league office. Our brand is the Mets. Gestures of goodwill will be coordinated with the other 29 teams." Mets Players: "Doesn't that feel, empty, forced, impersonal, and nearly meaningless?" Mets Management: "We cooperate with the league office in this organization." Mets Players: "Fuck it. I'm sorry, but we're gonna wear what we're gonna wear." Mets Management: "I'm fucking serious — try me. You don't believe I'm serious, then talk to your union." Mets Players: "Jesus." Mets Management: "You have a game to play." 2020: A nation in distress is seeing dozens of cases of police officers using unjustifiable deadly force, usually against persons of color and other marginalized populations. Mets Players: "We stand in solidarity with the victims. These are un-necessary tragedies and it's chilling to think that they are happening at the hands of the state, by the men and women paid to protect us." Mets Management: "Know what we need to do this year? Salute the police!" Mets Players: "Ummm ... ."

I thought it was MLB that didn't dig the hats, not Mets management per se.

I thought it was MLB that didn't dig the hats, not Mets management per se. Some background. Joe Torre didn't want them to when he was working for MLB and got pushback from Mike Piazza. My guess is because his beloved MFYS didn't want to do it first. Here is the reason the out-of-touch asshole gave: We try to keep the hats the way they are because every team could really have a legitimate reason to want to wear a different hat to honor something that happened in their particular area," Torre said. "And we just try to keep it consistent with the uniform. https://sports.yahoo.com/mets-wear-first-responder-caps-184515064.html Later

IS it a Mets tradition? I mean, they had ample opportunity to make it one, but at this point, it's more like something the Mets did once.

Mets wore ‘em annually through 2007. MLB introduced r/w/b Look How Patriotic We Are Caps for all teams in 2008 and thereafter got tetchy about the Mets maintaining their thing.

From the last game prior to this one that the Mets wore first responder caps. The teams observed a pregame moment of silence to mark the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. The Mets also wore hats from eight New York City departments that sustained losses that day, and a firefighter sang the national anthem. Hernandez, sporting an FDNY hat, struggled in his first start since he gave up five runs and six hits over three innings at Philadelphia on Aug. 30. He traveled back to New York after that shaky outing and got a cortisone shot in his sore right foot. https://www.espn.com/mlb/recap?gameId=270911121

Damn. So much sadness lately.



WCBS only reaches as far as the east side of Cleveland after dark. Since I live on the west side, I don't hear much of Randazzo. He's fine, but WKR is no GKR.

I always find college football talk (or hoops for that matter) between guys with no connection to those colleges to be a bit strange, particularly when they're talking rivalry games. I mean, sure there are great histories and stories behind them ... but to me it's kind of like being at someone else's family reunion, none of those stories involve you.
