No Captains for the Mets.

 

From the NY Post 

Mets owner Steve Cohen said Monday that as long as he owns the team, the title “captain” won’t be bestowed on a player.

“There will never be a captain,” Cohen said. 

“Since I’ve been sitting in this chair, we have been pretty consistent with the captain, and there’s a reason we haven’t named one,” manager Carlos Mendoza said. “The way I see it, the way we see it, is we have a bunch of guys there that are part of that leadership group. We lost a few guys that were part of that leadership group and then we have gained some guys who have done that.“I think when you’re talking about a major league locker room, you need to have not only one guy, but a few guys. That is what makes teams great, so it’s nothing new for us.”

Cohen isn't wrong. The Captain thing is overblown by Mets fans. I was laughing las season when Mets fans swore that Lindor was going to be named captain and then were whining over it when it didn't happen. Why does any baseball team need a captain? I fell it's usually a gesture by ownership to a player that they want to give an honor to help with the feelings between ownership and that player. "Hey we want you to resign with us, we know you like the money and the years, but how does being the captain of this team sound?"

I am shaving to raise money for childhood cancer research with: Late Knight Hooligans

Yes, I know, I already shave my head, but why am I shaving my beard, and why should you care?

A challenge among friends 25 years ago has become the largest volunteer movement to Conquer Kids’ Cancer. This year, I’m joining thousands of others to shave my head to raise money for childhood cancer research!

Did you know, 1 in 5 kids diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. won’t survive? For those who do, more than 96% have severe or life-threatening conditions by the time they are 50.

Each shaved head, every dollar donated, creates a ripple effect of progress for kids with cancer.

Your gift will give kids and their families hope, supporting the best research across the country, through the largest charity funder of childhood cancer research grants, the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.

Together, let’s give these kids the lifetime they deserve. Thank you for your support!

My Roles:

 

• Shavee

Elvis is one of the kind folks that help you all out at the QBC. He is always trying to do good things for others. Let's help him raise some money for the kids. donate here
