To fill the news void as the World awaits the Grand matchup between the Rangers and Cardinals, the Mets announced yet another addition to their uniform collection.

Calling it “The Ultimate Throwback” GM Sandy Alderson introduced the new uniform in the Jackie Robinson rotunda with our own Young Daniel Murphy modeling the first edition of Greek themed “toga-like” threads.

“We went with the Toga for two reasons” the highly intellectual and well respected Alderson stated.

“First, and admittedly foremost, our fanbase is one of the most knowledgeable baseball fans anywhere, yet they are also easily distracted. Let’s face it, this has worked for us time and again. We can’t get a team on the field that can actually play this game, we change the uniform. The fans eat it up.

Second, the Wilpon family is identifying with the current state of affairs in Greece at this time. They’re going belly up, we’re right behind them. Uh, strike that, Greek thing. Try this, they have a serious financial problem we feel their pain. This uniform is also, let’s face it, cheap. Buy a hospital grade white sheet, a few safety pins and we’re home.”
