Random: The Chairs
By Matthew Cerrone - Feb 6, 2008 3:53 pm

in front of the podium, there are hundreds of chairs…the first few in each row have paper taped to the seat that in most cases read, “Reserved,” like the image shows…

…however, the front row tags have names on them, like Jeff Wilpon, Johan Santana, Omar Minaya, etc…

…naturally, as soon as the podium portion was over, and the room began to disperse and flock for side interviews, i made a bee-line for santana’s chair to try and swipe his tag…figuring it would be a fairly cool thing to have…however, some one beat me to it…it was gone…ugh…

…by the way, Fred Wilpon was not sitting in the front row…instead, he was standing, quietly in the very, very back row in front of the photographers…which i found fairly interesting

    Hopefully whoever got it, got it because they really wanted it and not because it’s going to show up on eBay in a few hours.

      Steiner Sports has YOUR Johan Santana NY Met press conference name tags. For only $399.99 you can own this keepsake to display next to your Willie Randolph manager’s chair and your Paul Lo Duca champagne bottle.

    perhaps wilpon was acknoledging his hesitation on the deal and that this was jeff/omar doing this big deal. maybe he was the lone ‘no’ vote on the trade, and kept a distance in case ithe 7yr deal blows up he can be the voice of reason.
