The 2018 player of the game award debuted on Sunday, and I couldn't be less impressed.
I wasn't exactly on the edge of my seat, but when I saw this tweet from James Wagner last week, I was definitely intrigued to see what Frazier had up his sleeve.
Todd Frazier, who ordered the "Salt and Pepper" shirts for the Mets, has taken the theme very much to heart. He has a salt and pepper-inspired award to present to the MVP of the game in the near future, a la the wrestling belt in the past. #journalism

I tend to like post game awards. The players seem to really like it too. If they didn't, this wouldn't be the Mets fourth season doing something similar. If it keeps the clubhouse light and the dudes look forward to it, that can't be a bad thing.

Hold up. That's it?!? That's the award? That's gotta be some mistake. It took five days to hit up Home Goods, Todd? Sheesh. You don't gotta go overboard with the bedazzler, but hit the thing off with a graphic at the very least. Something!
I'm all in on whatever works for these dudes, but this years "award" is a big let down. Whatever though, keep winning.That's just the prototype, right?

We had a magical run at The Playwright during the 2024 Postseason. Night after night the place was packed out with Mets fans and we witnessed some pretty incredible moments together. Watch the game here on Saturday March 29th!
Kick off the 2025 season at our tailgate on Friday April 4th! You don't need to be sitting with The 7 Line Army to tailgate together. Let's get the good vibes started in the parking lot and hopefully they continue until last pitch. Food, drinks, games, music and more in the Marina Lot.
We're kicking the season off in Houston with The 7 Line Army on Saturday March 29th at Daikin Park. Start your day off on a positive foot with this fun run (or walk) 5K!
