The case for the Mets

Carrying case, that is.

If I were the seller of this item, here’s how the copy in the listing would read:.

If you buy it and bring it with you on the 7 train, people will assume you work for the team. They’ll be impressed that you have a career in the glamorous world of professional sports administration -- albeit for it a team that’s 56-64 -- while they muddle through their mundane jobs. They’ll offer trade ideas and make suggestions on strategy. They might even offer you some ready cash to invest in the club which you’ll slip into your cool Mets case to keep for yourself because, after all, you didn’t ask them for it. They just gave it to you because it made them feel good.
