Meet the Mr. Mets BJ Club
A. Isaac You gotta really hand it to the New York Mets PR department–you couldn’t script this stuff any better. After accepting BJ’s Wholesale Club as a sponsor for the team, the Mets inexplicably named some of their low cost seating, Mr. Mets BJ Club. And of course, the promotion made it on the website with a bunch of lovely ladies attached to it.
Ladies, BJ’s, and an oversized mascot head. Lovely.
Needless to say the phones at Citi Field began to ring off the hook. Half of the calls were from angry parents while the other half were from men desperate to get tickets in the new section.
After realizing the double-entendre, the Mets quickly changed the name to what is currently showing on Mets.com. The world famous BJ’s girls were removed from the image and the section was renamed yet again. It is now BJ’s clubhouse.
From what I understand, the “desperate men” were shown this video to entice them even more to buy these low cost tickets.
