Big MLB.com Sale - 11/19 only

Today 11/19/08 only, until 11:59pm PT, the MLB.com Shop is offering 30% off everything, including personalized items, authentic jerseys, the works.  The only stuff that doesn't qualify for the discount is gift cards, tax and shipping.  I think that's a better percentage discount than I've seen them offer before for holiday sales; the only time I've seen bigger discounts is for crappy clearance items (Mo Vaughn jerseys and Kaz Matsui bobbleheads).  Thought you folks might want to know in case you'd been putting off buying your customized Voltron t-shirt, new hat, jersey w/ Shea Stadium patch or whatever else until prices came down.

Just received their holiday catologue in the mail today.

I would like to send family and friends gifts this holiday season but unfortunately, my money is wrapped up in bailout contributions. Sorry.

I caved

and bought the “Essential Games at Shea” DVD set. I don’t think the David Wright walkoff game should be on there, but I’ll enjoy watching them all nonetheless.

I finally got that Voltron t-shirt

OK, and also a Wright jersey with the Shea patch. I would have a lot more money if I didn’t spend bunches of it on various baseball/football/soccer/hockey jerseys.

yeah, me too.

thanks for posting this. got a couple of shirts on the cheap!

question?

how exactly does one go about custom ordering a Voltron jersey. is it just Voltron with the number 15 on it or can you add some sort of cool graphics?

by Endys Game on Nov 20, 2008 4:41 PM EST up reply actions  

Just a custom jersey

That is to say, a jersey-style t-shirt like this, not a jersey per se; dropping $200 on a jersey for what’s basically an inside joke is a little steep.

a little steep?

that’s an understatement

I hate this laptop. I have so many more typos than I did when I used an actual keyboard…

Fuckin’ sweet.

We've got ourselves a ball club, the Mets of New York town!

Judging by the comments to Matt Callan’s ode to 1986 Mets: A Year To Remember from a few weeks back, the video has a devoted Mets fan following. Despite being too young to remember anything about that season, it has a special place in my fandom as well. It was part of a two video rotation (Ghostbusters being the other) which ran almost daily on my television for a few years in the early 90s. And it remained a once-in-awhile watch through high school and college. 

Unsurprisingly, the physical tape deteriorated over time, and the screen jumps and sound skips made for a less than optimal viewing experience. With sale of the video discontinued, my brother converted it to DVD and gave it to me for Christmas in 2010. See the picture above for the box and DVD. He even created a scene selection function which can be accessed from the main menu. "Get Metsmerized!" plays on loop on the menu screen. It is my favorite Christmas gift ever and is still nice to throw on for a viewing.

"How'd we do it? Mirrors!"
I was flipping through some of my parents' photo albums this afternoon in search of one particular shot of the sign my older sister made for Mets Banner Day back in the late eighties. Though I didn't find that one — I'll post it when I eventually track it down, and I can assure you that it's Keith-themed — but I did stumble upon this wonderful photo of my younger sister's stuffed animal menagerie spread out in front of a glorious rainbow-festooned Mets pennant, also from the late eighties.

She works for the HRC now and was particularly delighted to be reminded of this photo.

Now that banner day is back, hopefully this years will look a little like this. I know it's not great, but i don't pretend to be a professional. embiggen!
