Almost A Met: I want your help!
Let's make this a better newsletter together.
Hello fellow Mets fans! We’re doing something different to celebrate the holiday today.
I know everyone’s got plans to go to barbeques—I’m heading to one of my best friend’s house for his annual get-together—so if you are reading this today, I am very grateful for your time.
I’ve had so much fun working on this newsletter for the past 9 weeks, and I’ve been overwhelmed by all of the support. Our open rates are great each week, and y’all seem to really enjoy the idea of looking at the best “what-if” moments in Mets history.
So, please let me say once again, THANK YOU.
Instead of looking into a player today, I’m actually asking for your help. Down below you will find some very easy questions to answer about the newsletter.
The questions won’t take more than 5 minutes, but they will be very helpful in informing me on how to shape the newsletter moving forward! I want you to enjoy reading this newsletter as much as I enjoy writing it.
Thanks in advance for answering the questions!
One programming note: I know I said Barry Zito would be the next newsletter, but I’ve got something fun planned for next Friday. We’ll do the Zito column later in the month.
See ya next week!
