Fire MLB Denying Part of the Mets' 9/11 Tribute

MLB Commissioner Bud Selig is still really bad at PR. Maybe he should hire Dan Snyder's whiz, Tony Wyllie, after it was revealed that the Mets were prevented from wearing NYPD, NYFD and PAPD caps as part of a 9/11 tribute.

Instead, MLB literally grabbed the caps from the Mets' dugout and replaced them with American flag hats that just happen to be on sale at MLB.com for $36.99. What an amazing coincidence!

This move by MLB is really indefensible and Selig should be ashamed. Hopefully no one will buy those hats out of protest, and fortunately the Mets still had a very nice tribute on Sunday. On some level this ugly greed shows that the American spirit is alive and well and that the terrorists didn't win. Nonetheless, Selig and MLB should most definitely be fired over this classless move.

UPDATE: Bud keeps digging himself in deeper. He's upset the Mets made this cap flap public, which even for him is a new low.
