Family is super important to me and nobody more then my uncle Steve. I’ve grown up with some shitty family members who have made horrible decisions that have really effected me through out my life. They have made horrible financial decisions like falling into the biggest Ponzi scheme in human history. They are currently still paying an old employee 1.9 million dollars a year for another 15 years. They also have no sense for family history. We moved into a new home and there wasn’t one family photo on the walls.
My uncle Steve is different from the rest of those bozos. My uncle cares about family history and tradition and being smart with his money. For an example THE BLACK JERSEYS ARE BACK!!! A true fan favorite throw back jersey has been brought back to us thank god. In the short year and a half since uncle Steve has taken over the Mets he has brought back so much joy to this organization. He did what Mets fans had been begging the Wilpons to do for years, SPEND MONEY. We are the god damn New York Mets but spent like were a minor league team. He bought us our shiny new toy in Francisco Lindor. Max Scherzer ever heard of him? Yea I wish we signed Javy but we cant win em all. We are finally becoming the team we should have always been. A sick destination for free agents to want and come play because its god damn New York and we got a boat load of money.
The thing that uncle Steve has done that has touched me the most is his dedication to our past. Its a disgrace how the Wilpons never gave Tom Seaver a chance to see his statue unveiled while he was still alive. Don’t get me wrong what Jackie Robinson did and means to baseball is immeasurable but did the Yankees forget to put a Picture of Babe Ruth up at the new Yankee Stadium? How the fuck could we forget about our greatest player? Not even a picture of this guy in the hall way. Yes the Wilpons would go on to add a hall of fame club but it was to little to late in my opinion. Uncle Steve a Met fan himself heard the fans and got to work announcing that we will finally be unveiling the Seaver statue on opening day. Another thing that blows my mind the Wilpons only retired two players numbers in there history of owning the Mets. Seaver in ’88 and then ALMOST 30 YEARS LATER they retired Mike Piazza. What a sack of shit these guys were. Uncle Steve made the awesome decision to finally retire maybe the most influential Mets of all time, Keith Hernandez. #17 is arguably one of the best Mets players of all time but for a guy like me what he has done in the booth is why he is such a legend. “I’m Keith Hernandez” fuck yea you are and I’m glad ill get to see that #17 forever and always remember that.
