The Mets Apologized To The Two Members Of The 1969 Mets They Mistakenly Said Were Dead Yesterday Annnnd They Misspelled One Of The Players’ Names
I had to take a quick break from blogging the tire fire currently burning bright at Madison Square Garden to cover the Chernobyl situation unfolding in Flushing Meadows these days.
For people that missed it yesterday, the Mets honored the 1969 team that won the first championship in franchise history. Despite having 50 goddamn years to make sure they didn’t fuck anything up, they instead went full Mets and fucked up by mistakenly honoring two very alive players in the We Remember montage honoring fallen members of the team.
Was it an absolutely ridiculous and embarrassing mistake that could have easily been avoided by going on Google, Wikipedia, Baseball Reference? Of course. But again, this is the Mets we are talking about. We almost expect that shit at this point. Hell, I even said four days before the ceremony that I didn’t know how the Mets would fuck it up.
I was thinking some of the old players may wilt in the summer sun. Instead the Mets fake killed two of the old players. So I guess that’s a good thing?
However, today the Mets tried to make things right by apologizing to the two actually living, breathing former members of the franchise that took home that title half a century ago.
The only problem with this is that the Mets spelled Jesse Hudson’s name wrong. Twice. In the apology they publicly wrote after fake killing him. Which again, could have been avoided by going on Google, Wikipedia, or Baseball fucking Reference.
Notice the lack of I in Jesse and the lack of death date. I bet the Hudson family would like an apology for this apology but are probably scared of how the Mets would end up fucking that up because they are the worst run business on the planet. Not the worst run baseball team or sports franchise. But worst run business on the planet. The Wilpons have a license to print money because they own a team millions of people were taught to root for since childhood and the team is nowhere near the powerhouse it should be because ownership allows the circus to happen every single day and that will continue to happen until they sell the franchise. I know I just said this in my previous blog about James Dolan but it doesn’t make it any less true. The Mets are the Summer Knicks and the Knicks are the Winter Mets.
Also we need to make sure to add this fucked up apology to the fake death announcement on the ever-growing list of infamous Mets fuck ups.
