The New York Mets today announced that Mookie Wilson has returned to the organization as the team’s minor-league outfield and base running coordinator. Wilson, a former Mets player, coach and minor league manager, was last with the club in 2005 as the manager of the Brooklyn Cyclones (A) of the New York-Penn League.
"It’s good to be back," said Wilson, 53, who makes his home in Eastover, S.C. "This is where I started and I’m anxious to do whatever I can for the young kids in our system."

question
Hmmm, will Mookie be required to undergo a physical before joining the club?
Good! Now Pagan will finally learn how to run the bases!

If there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.
Good.
Happy to have him back.

best news of the offseason by far.
In fact, let’s see if he can still play.
Mookie was always my favorite '80s Met. I'm happy to see him back with the organization.
More intriguing, though, is two things:
Bob Melvin was hired as well. He’s only a scout right now, but might he be the next manager, since this season is likely Jerry’s last?
WTF? The following coordinators were retained: Mark Rogow (Medical); Dave Pearson (Rehabilitation, Physical Therapy); Jason Craig (Strength and Conditioning). Not that they are necessarily to blame for anything last season, but the lack of any scapegoats whatsoever disappoints me. Scapegoating is a fine American tradition, and what a better place for it than in the great American institution of baseball?

THAT'S WHY THEY ALWAYS LOOKED SO FAMILIAR!!!!!!
Childhood break through. I just asked my dad, and apparently he used to play this for me and my brothers all the time when we were little to make sure we got the “true values out of sesame street.” This is a great moment.

The Mets are not nearly as aggressive in the Muppet market as they are elsewhere.
I hope we correct that.

careful what you wish for
we’ll end up with a team full of Muppet players, and then David Wright will never become a leader because he’ll be a minority.

Who came up with the line
that Derek Jeter looked like the offspring of The Rock having sex with a muppet?

That was said by DJ himself
(in drag) in a sketch about baseball wives when he hosted SNL in December 2001. I wish I could find video because it was pretty funny. Tina Fey was the head writer at that point, for what it’s worth.
Statler and Waldorf would say something like:
“If this team gets any worse, we’re gonna hafta hire Honus Wagner to kill them all! Awh haw haw haw!”

Who do you think dresses up as Mr. Met for weddings?
