WE DESERVED ONE OF THESE.
The Minnesota Twins took out this ad in the local papers (and made it available on their web site).
Sure, they’re promoting Target Field. But there’s no “call to get your tickets now” or “you can be here too, here’s the phone number”.
It’s just a thank you. Thank you for being fans. Thank you for being there. We are grateful for your support, and we are sorry that we let you down. (And the photo of Carlos Gomez in mid-air made me a little misty.)
Maybe the Mets have done this in the past (have they?), but we’re owed at least three since when I came on board. And don’t point out the hastily cobbled-together “We’re sorry” video footage at the games, not everyone was at the games, and they didn’t show them on TV.
Don’t give me “small market team”. This is just manners. This is just common sense. This is just classy. This is the right way to run an organization.
Are you listening, Dave Howard and Jeff Wilpon? Or is this something that you’ll “get to” eventually?
