Today at Citi Field, Mets ownership went outside the box and brought in Jimmy McMillan to interview for the job of General Manager. McMillan became a nationwide celebrity this week with his "Rent Is Too Damn High" platform at the NY Gubernatorial debates.
To quickly recap, the Mets have had a difficult time finding a GM. First, their reality TV show proved fruitless when it was canceled due to poor ratings. Adding insult to injury, the team has been turned down by several candidates not willing to accept the Wilpon's preconditions.
According to a source, today's meeting went well. McMillan apparently wowed the Wilpon's with his skills as a "karate master". McMillan also did not seem to oppose the idea of outside influence reportedly saying, "If you guys want me to put a shoe on the team, I'll sign one."
After the meeting, McMillan issued this statement to the media:
My fellow fans, ticket prices are too damn high. People working 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week, just to sit in the Promenade. People can't afford to feed their family at the game because the price of hot dogs is too damn high. Also the lines at Shake Shack are too damn long. Listen! Do you hear that? It's the sound of people getting in line for Shake Shack right now for next April. As a karate expert I will fix this team because I'm not going to play the silly game. Right now these players salaries are too damn high. Thank you.
