GO ON VACATION WITH METS ‘GREATS’
06.15.07
Sixty Mets fans on an island and it's not a reality TV show? Are they sure? Because I think I heard about a pilot called "Who can tolerate a Queens accent?"
Yes, the Mets are offering a Barbados Weekend Bash that offers fans the opportunity — among other things — to hang with several Mets greats. Including… Anthony Young? Yes, I suppose "unforgettable" is the right word.

You'll be staying at the Howard Johnson. What's that? Oh, I'm sorry. You'll be staying with Howard Johnson.
I'd like to play cards with Bobby Bonilla and Rickey Henderson, preferably during a crucial moment
and throw some firecrackers with Mookie Wilson
p.s. Thanks goes to studly Ryan for the tip.
I heard the Yankees are doing the same thing. But instead of the Island of Barbados, it's supposed to be on Fire Island.
Vince Coleman was the firecracker king as I recall
Enjoy dinner and drinks with Anthony Young! Just make sure to leave a nice tip for him after he cleans up your table and refills your drinks.
If Tim Teufel is in, I’m in.
there's gotta be an 86 wilson/buckner joke in there somewhere, but for the life of me, I can't find it.
Anthony Young = Loss
Tropical island = Lost
Yeah, this could work.
The Bengals are doing the same promotion except it's at Rikers Island.
Thanks for the props Matt!
Can we put every Mets fan on the island?
Anthony Young cannot promise that he won't lose your luggage.
As long as it is a former leper colony island, I think this has potential.
Shamsky isn't going, so neither am I.
Although, it might be cool to get a picture with Felix, if he still has the 'fro and porn 'stache.
@Hercules you are correct
though the first advertising plan for this weekend is "Get some nookie with Mookie"
Is Roger McDowell gonna spit on me?
You can't just erase the memory of 27 consecutive losses, so, yeah, "unforgettable" is probably accurate.
Is Burnsy implying that Met fans are worse than any other NY fans? I'd like to think that we're pretty sophisticated and clear-headed as a fan base.
Maybe they'll run into their entire outfield on vacation
The only Met I could stand to be around is Sid Finch.
Sixty Mets fans on an island and it's not Riker's?
Now that would be shocking.
I wouldn't bring your wife. Kevin Elster might be runnin around.
And if you can't finish your meal, Sid Fernandez is available 24 hours a day to do it for you!!!
The week concludes with an hourlong fireworks display brought to you by Vince Coleman…don't forget to bring the kids!
