I guess I should book my audition now, although I'm a bit insulted that I would even need to audition. 😠

"It Ain't About the Sneakers" would make a GREAT audition piece.

I like Steve Cohen. I especially like his big, fat wallet. But there's enough of a record now, where I'd say Cohen's got more Mets misses than hits.

I'm envisioning a NBA-style dance crew that we see during timeouts and half-time, and wonder how that works in baseball? I think of myself as a cooler bro in his late 40s so obviously I'm painfully uncool and woefully out of touch. That said, is hip-hop dance catering to people of a certain age demographic? Is that popular with "the youth"? Do I need to download TikTok??

buncha old white folks out here complaining about something the kids (might) be into.

i mean, it seems like the time for a hype crew was back in the late 80s, maybe early 90s, but fucking hell, that's when it was time for me, too.

i'm a goddamned dad in my mid 40s. what the fuck do i know about what the youths are into?

Go back to allowing banners as an outlet for self expression. Fans of all ages can participate.

Sounds like it would be fun for the younger crowd who any game I've been at are nearly always up dancing etc at appropriate times , or going crazy when they are shooting free tees into the crowd

We've noticed at Syracuse football & basketball games that in addition to cheerleading squads, they now also have dance groups. They wear bootie shorts and shake what God gave em. It's great.

I hope it's cool but it feels like a polo and khaki attempt at connecting with young people. Prove me wrong, Mets!
