Mets Laundry #13
Ruined Pants, Records, and Patches of Remembrance
Ahead of the 2025 Home Opener, the pregame featured many remembrances and commemorations. In celebration of the life and career of the real Mr. Met, Ed Kranepool, the Mets invited Kranepool’s family and longtime friend Art Shamsky to the field. During the season, the Mets will wear a black #7 patch on their uniforms in dedication to Ed Kranepool.
This is the uniform of a man who went 3-for-4 with two triples and 2 RBI. Two headfirst dives into third base on a wet night will destroy a pair of white pants. Pray for the clubhouse attendants.
