“Alchemists Needed for Mets’ Golden Anniversary”

April 1, 2012 By Professor Arielle Saiber

mets-logo “Two years ago, I quoted Dante in warning Met fans to expect nothing. (“Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.”) That still works in 2012. But Mets fans need to take stock of the hope and humor that course underground, like a long-forgotten creek under a municipal dump.” [. . .]    –George Vecsey, The New York Times, March 31, 2012
