There’s a stunning aerial shot, taken only a couple of hours ago by NYPD, of the greatest city in the world – New York City.
It’s incredible isn’t it, how hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world are here tonight to celebrate the passing of 2014 and usher in a brand New Year in 2015.
Before I bid a fond farewell to 2014, I wanted to take some time to thank all of you for such a remarkable year of growth and expansion for MMO. It’s because of you that MMO has become the single most active Mets online community there is. A community so rich in opinions and diverse in it’s makeup, that continues to grow exponentially even as we begin our 11th year of covering our beloved Mets.
Since day one, our goal has always been to create a Mets Fan Site that truly represented all Mets fans; guys and gals, young and old, optimists and pessimists. And guess what… Thanks to over 20,000 of you who visit this site each day, we have succeeded, and together we’ve created something truly special.
I derive so much pleasure from writing about the team and sharing my thoughts each day, but it’s nothing compared to the enjoyment I get from interacting with all of you on our comment threads and experiencing all your passion for the team first hand.
I’ve often referred to all of you as part of my great, big, extended family and I truly mean that, my friends. We’re all in this together.
Whether you write for MMO, engage in the comments, submit an occasional Fan Shot, or just come over to read our articles and the threads, this site wouldn’t be what it is without all of your tremendous and active participation.
So as we break out the champagne and get ready to close out an old year and ring in a new one, I just want to thank all of you for your amazing support.
Thank you to all of our writers, editors, analysts, tech people, the Mets, the players, the prospects, the beat writers, and most of all – YOU – our loyal readers. None of this is possible without you.
God Bless You All and Have A Happy and Healthy New Year.
Joe D.
