A lot of the official broadcast tapes for old Mets games and post\/pre game shows like Kiner’s Korner have been lost in time.\u00a0 However, Mets fans are always recording things.\u00a0 I bet there are hundreds of tapes of old Mets stuff on TV, including Kiner’s Korner episodes no one’s seen in decades, sitting in boxes in fans’ basements.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0Why not put out a public service announcement during Mets games asking fans to check out what they have?\u00a0 Set up a phone line and have some interns catalogue what people have.\u00a0 Then offer free Mets tickets to anyone that sends in something new.\u00a0 Before these VHS tapes, and VCRs, are lost forever we should recover what we can.\u00a0 This doesn’t have to be limited to Kiner’s Korners or broadcasts.\u00a0 If you open the door I bet you’d find some interesting stuff.\u00a0 Mets appearances at Little League dinners, old appearances on news programs, and even some fun commercials.\u00a0<\/p>\n
