"Met For The Day" At Clover Park
I was working on my computer and half-watching the late newscast on WPTV, one of the local television stations for the Treasure Coast here in Florida, and noticed a news story about being a "Met for the Day" at Clover Park in Port St. Lucie, where the New York Mets train during the spring. Evidently, hardcore Mets fans can come down to Clover Park and be a New York Met for the day. I had the sound turned down, and so I only got part of the story when I turned up the volume. The participants evidently get to play a baseball game against a team of - I think - former Mets players. All for a mere $5,000. They interviewed one of the participants, and he was very enthusiastic about the event and said he would definitely be coming back next year. For another $5,000? It confirms everything I have ever thought about Mets fans. In any case, having missed part of the story, I still had a few questions. Were they really playing a team of former Mets players, and if so, what former players did they play against? Was it a full 9 inning game? Was the event really only one day? I googled "Met for the Day" and got no results, and then I checked the WPTV website and found no results there either, even though it was their story. The only proof I have that the event occurred is the photograph above that I took off the television screen. Either I need to brush up on my internet search skills, or they all must be hiding something. Did they bet on their own game and now are trying to cover it up? I guess we'll never know.
