Comedian Bill Maher is a new limited parter of the New York Mets, according to CBSSports.com.
Bill Maher Joins New York Mets As Minority Owner
Maher bought one of the minority partnerships that the Mets started to offer in December. Those shares were reportedly $20 million -- and they included a meet-and-greet with Mr. Met, though there were no financial terms released with the Maher deal.
Maher said that he grew up a Mets and Yankees fan, though in recent years he's been known to rock the Mets hat more.
“I was so not a fan of George Steinbrenner that he turned me off to that franchise,” Maher said. “I don’t think he represented what New York should be.“He gives a couple more quotes in the article, but he doesn’t crack wise, which is disappointing. Here are the jokes I totally would have told:
“We have to sign him. We don’t want him to be known as David Left.”
“And then I was all, yeah, don’t let the door hit you on Reyes on your way out.”
"Has anyone ever noticed that R.A. Dickey has a funny name?"
Looking for a writer, Bill? Call me. I’m around.
