The First "Queens Baseball Convention" - A Big Hit At Citi Field

It was a great day at the First ever Queens Baseball Convention, in McFadden's Restaurant & Saloon at Citi Field. A huge success for friend & the main organizer; Shannon of the Mets Police. Good job to all those involved in organizing the event & all those who participated in the festivities.

Various Bloggers held discussion panels & hosted presentations. A few Mets executives also participated in a panel chat with the Mets Police Chief himself.

The Mascots were there as well, a big cheer went up as Mr. Met made a grand, much anticipated entrance. Sandy the Brooklyn Cyclones Seagull & King Henry from Coney Island's Mets A Ball team, were both on hand to greet the fans as well.

Another big hit, were the 2014 calendar girls from "the 7 line" blog/line of clothing. They were there, smiling for pictures with fans & selling their calendars.

There were the Mazzy Awards, the Gil Hodges Award & a Dating Game to win a date with a calendar girl. All in all a great day for Mets fans to share with other Mets fans.
