Donald Trump to Buy the Mets?

On the heels of him teasing he’ll run for President (which went over like a lead balloon when he was booed at the CPAC Conference a couple weeks back), word has it that Donald Trump is also looking into buying a significant portion of the New York Mets.

Fantastic. I can just imagine…

“Listen, dis is gonna be a classy ballclub and a classy stadium. I’m gonna class up da joint. Dip some gloves in gold, replace da stripes on da uniforms with gold, solid gold bases all around da park. Real classy. Den declare bankruptcy, den come back, den declare bankruptcy again. It’s gonna be a great, classy baseball season. YAW FIRED!”

I say go for it. What’s the worst that can happen? It’s the Mets. The blew a chance to get into the playoffs in back to back seasons, have an owner being sued for literally a billion dollars for being in bed with Bernie Madoff, and most importantly, they are the New York Mets.

Mets fans: “bring it on.”
