Vote Reyes: Meet Reyes, and My Ballot

If you vote for Jose Reyes for the All-Star Game, and select the Mets as one of your favorite teams on the form (Why wouldn’t you?) you’ll be entered in the contest to win two tickets to a future Mets game and the chance to meet the National League leader in Hits, Runs Scored, Triples, and Average, Multi-Hit Games, and the hardest player in the league to strikeout.

 

You’ve got until Thursday and you can vote up to 25 times per email address so let’s get Jose Reyes that starting spot that he both wants and deserves.  While you’re at it, give Carlos Beltran your vote too.  For the American League I usually just look at the most recent standings and vote for the player that has the best chance to unseat a Yankee.

 

If you’re able to get to Citi Field on a weekday, the Mets annual summer blood is Thursday the 7th of July from 10 to 5.  Do a good deed AND get Mets tickets for it.  As a working resident of New Jersey I won’t be making this one, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t!

 

So while you’re waiting for the game to start, hop over to Mets.com and #votereyes.
