K-Rod off to Dopey Start by Choosing No. 75

Dear K-Rod,

Please reconsider your poor choice of uniform number, 75.  That's not a baseball number. 

Yes, you wanted 57, but you can't have it.  Ever.  Yes, you'd like 37 but that's gone too.   You might consider 17, and if they made Franco change numbers after 10 years, I'm sure they can make Tatis change numbers.  Of course, it boggles the mind that 17 isn't retired.

75 is a horrible number.  It makes me hostile to you even before you throw a pitch.   I'll be in my expensive last row seats and I'll see a 75 come out of the bullpen (wherever those are at Taxpayer Bailout Corporate New Shea Field—reminder to everyone to avoid using the corporate name until the Mets refuse to take taxpayer money) and I will get angry.   It better not be a black 75 or I will get very angry.

Also, while you are appeasing me, please drop the nickname.  (See here: 7 Things K-Rod & Mets Fans Need To Know.)

Sincerely,

Your pals at www.metspolice.com
