Today at 11 am, Mark Healy will dedicate the full two hours of his online radio show, Baseball Digest Live, discussing Citi Field, while also taking calls from listeners about the new ballpark.

By the way, MetsBlog reader Chris M sent me a link to a story in the Daily News from June 2007, in which it mentions the Mets were planning an ‘interactive Mets museum’ for Citi Field.

However, when it was announced recently by Fred Wilpon that such a museum will be built, reporters and fans, including myself, criticized the team for being out of touch, late and only reacting to fan criticism – when in reality it appears the Mets intended on building it all along.

So, I guess the real question is: what’s the hold up?

Lastly, while on the subject, the more I look at it, the more I wish the outfield wall in Citi Field was blue, instead of black.

Again, like so many of these arguments about aesthetics, it’s not that big of a deal; but, it does bug me when I see the black wall and orange text, which reminds me of the Giants and O’s – and, once it is pointed out, be it to people who work with the team or other fans, most people end up agreeing it should be blue.

Actually, if you click here, and look at the original mock-up from HOK in 2006, it appears they envisioned the wall being blue.

Nevertheless, MetsBlog.com reader Vince H did some basic work on Photoshop job, and, as you can see, such a simple move immediately makes the new ballpark feel more Mets-centric.
