So last night I posted and mentioned the very nice tribute they had for the 1969 Mets, living and deceased. Yeah, I complained that they told everybody to be in their seats by 3:00 and then started the ceremony at 3:40 presumably because the lines were still really long just before 3:00 because they didn’t bother to open the gates any earlier than normal.
Well, turns out that wasn’t the worst thing they did regarding this ceremony:

What trained flamingos did the Mets hire to oversee this???
To be fair, the Mets are slowly killing us all https://t.co/5S8mpSRdKJ

Jim Gosger, one of the players the Mets tried to kill off, responded thusly:
Well the #Mets announced Jim Gosger as one of the 1969 team's deceased members. He's alive and well. #fail https://t.co/1RUqhXFjbV pic.twitter.com/YzKfnXJhoy

Losing ballgames? It’s part of the charm of being a Mets fan. But this is careless and shameful. Clowns gonna clown.
