Shea: Trying to Interview Guisseppe Franco

by Matthew Cerrone on August 6th, 2008 at 4:02 pm

I am sitting in my car in the parking lot of Shea Stadium, typing this post on a PDA, waiting for Ted Berg and our video producer, Jeff, to get off the train.

Last week on MetsBlog, I wrote up a post about having seen the infamous Guisseppe Franco in front of his Beverly Hills salon, while on vacation in California the previous week.

Late last week, Franco e-mailed me saying he had seen my post, he was flattered and so we struck up a phone call.

Turns out, he is in New York City this week. Also, he is a very nice guy, who is also a Mets fan.

He is scheduled to take batting practice tonight at Shea, and so Ted and I intend to connect with him for an interview.

I would not be surprised to see Franco end up on one of SNY’s afternoon programs, so stay tuned to that as well.

Wish us luck, since there is chance one of us ends up with a mohawk.
