This is funny! From SI.com. Keep in mind the following facts. 1) The Mets use PINSTRIPES like the Yankees. 2) The NY on their caps is the SAME NY from the baseball NY Giants. They just replaced the black with blue and kept the orange. 3) The script letters on the jersey is the same style as the Brooklyn Dodgers. The Mets can copy uniforms and TV networks but they can't copy CHAMPIONSHIPS!
"After the triumph of the Yankees' own YES network, it was only a matter of time before the Mets followed suit."
"But for all the endearing moments the Mets have enjoyed in their relatively brief history, can you imagine a "Metsography" on Jerry Grote or Skip Lockwood, Marv Throneberry or Pat Zachry? The team's history is littered with players who went on to greater success elsewhere -- Nolan Ryan, Amos Otis, Ken Singleton and Jeff Kent, to name a few. Heck, even their golden child, Doc Gooden, went on to pitch a no-hitter for the crosstown rivals, winning two championships in the Bronx (along with Darryl Strawberry) to boot. After Tom Seaver, Ed Kranepool and a handful of others, there isn't much to lionize over the course of a full hour. What are they going to feature? The Art Shamsky Report, Late Night with Ron Swoboda, Fly Fishing with Kevin McReynolds, and Hot Dog Highlights starring Willie Montanez and Lenny Dykstra?"
