any mets fans here?
Oh, my: The auction house Sotheby’s is selling the Mets’ old bullpen cart on eBay. Bidding is set to start at $10,000, with a final cost expected to be between $20,000 and $30,000.
But you can’t put a price tag on awesomeness, and this sounds awesome:
Electric powered Presidente Cart, circa 1967. Battery pack included. The cart is in drivable condition and remains completely untouched as to the original modifications. The cart is in a two-seat configuration, with seats mimicking bases, each with wear concurrent with age. The area to the outside of each seat has been widened to allow for the addition of speakers to either side. Green fabric interior shows the commensurate amount wear one would expect with a vehicle such as this. The exterior of the cart has cracks and minor paint chips to the edges of the helmet top as well as a few small scattered spots of loss around the helmet. Additional small areas of imperfections are visible as is some areas of paint flaking inside the helmet. Overall, this is a highly original vehicle with wear indicative of its age and in a condition one would expect. While not perfect, it is completely useable and presentable as is….
A fantastic example of whimsical Major League Baseball marketing from the late 1960s, used intermittently at Shea Stadium for more than 20 years. Highlights of its use include a memorable appearance at the 1986 World Series versus the Boston Red Sox and then again in 2003 when Mets Captain John Franco drove Mets legend Tug McGraw onto the field as part of the team’s celebration of the legendary 1973 team.
