Last night, a Mets fans descended on the SNY studios to voice their desire for the Mets to sign Manny Ramirez. priced out of the citi reports on the "Sign Manny" rally, which was publicized on Mets message boards:
The crowd was a bit smaller than expected (approximately 30 people), but boisterous nevertheless. Chants of "We want Manny!" were screamed throughout the show - with one fan even doing so through a megaphone. Signs plastered the glass of the studio with images of the 36 year old right-hander.
The leader of the pack, and focus of SNY's outdoor coverage, even had a customized Mets Ramirez jersey. When asked where he got it, he said his mother got it for him. "She's an even bigger Manny fan than I am!"
Let it be noted that the Mets Ramirez jersey-wearing leader of the pack also had on a dreadlock wig to complete the look.
There had been talk of the Yankees being interested in the eccentric player, but lately, the Mets have been touted as a potential suitor.
