Mets 51st Anniversary Celebration?
Today was the Mets 50th anniversary celebration press conference at Citi Field. Although, a fan on our Facebook page (David Moehringer) pointed out that we are on the brink of the 51st. Sure it's fifty calendar years from 1962-2012 but if you're keeping track the upcoming season is actually the 51st in franchise history. Do the math, it's not hard.
While I don't believe it's entirely necessary to hold a press conference to unveil a patch or uniform change it was comforting to hear that Ike's ankle is feeling 100% better. I call slight bullshit on that statement, but he claims the injury is behind him and he is ready to go. I do believe he feels he will be "ready to go" by Spring Training, but keep in mind he was a wreck at the end of the season and the surgery word wasn't completely out of the question. If the season was still in session I bet he'd still be out of the lineup.
The new patch is looking good, props to whoever designed it. Epic fail to the one responsible for the Domino's looking inaugural season patch though. Photoshop 101 in some random ass elementary school must have held a competition to come up with that one. That thing was HIDEOUS.

Since some of you are saying that anniversaries go by the year. Check out this 1986 25th anniversary Mets patch.
1962-1986 is actually 24 YEARS but 25 seasons. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

Thank you, Mets fans!
Despite the ending, I had such a fun season. Thanks for being a part of it with me either at Citi Field, on the road, or at the Playwright. I met so many new fans this year. Not new to the Mets, but new to hanging with T7LA. It was a great time. Every game new faces would show up, and that's always encouraged. I know it's tough for some people to throw themselves in to a new situation, but I promise we don't bite. One of my favorite things about The 7 Line Army is watching strong friendships form from it.
Postseason Tailgates At Citi Field!
We'll be tailgating in our usual spot in the Marina Lot before all home Postseason games! Fans should be rolling in at least 4 hours before first pitch. BE THERE! As always, you don't need to be sitting with The 7 Line Army to tailgate together.
No T7L Postseason Merch?!?!
Your eyes do not deceive you, we don't have any available Mets 2024 Postseason merch. It's not that we don't have designs ready to go, we just aren't allowed to release them for another 2 weeks. Fanatics gets an exclusive 2 week window on licensed merch.
