A Metsian Podcast, Ep 64 - Start Spreading the News, The Coop is Back!

A Metsian Podcast W Sam Rich & Mike

New York, New York, it's a hell of a baseball town where local Mets and Yankees fans ride in a hole in the ground (hopefully wearing masks while practicing social distancing). The subway system has run parallel with New York City's baseball history for well over a century. In fact, five score and sixteen years ago local fans via the city's new subway system begin commuting to the Polo Grounds and Washington Park in Brooklyn. Before long fans are third-railing their way to Ebbets Field and Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium decades later. Today's commute to the new modern parks is no different. However, Major League Baseball is doing its damndest to impose change upon the game and its fans. This begs the question: is it worth swiping a MetroCard be it to River Avenue or Rosevelt Avenue in order to see a seven inning ballgame? This is sure to spark a rather intense debate on Sunday evening's 64th episode of a Metsian Podcast. Longtime friend of the show, The Coop is back! Together with Sam, Rich, and Mike, they'll recap the five game Subway Series that was between Bronx and Queens; opine on the latest ownership developments; tap into their respective inner GM as the trade deadline approaches and jump into the time machine back to the year 1964, and revisit players who've worn number sixty-four through Mets history. Tonight's show kicks off at 8:00pm (EST), sharp! You're more than welcome to call 646-787-1919 with your comments and opinions.
