[Insert Ethnicity Here] Appreciation Day at Shea!!!

I remember bat day, ball day, hat day, seat pad day, foam finger day, seniors day, but I don't remember Pakistani American Appreciation day. In fact, there is a day for just about anyone day.

For Pakistani American Appreciation night, the festivities included three people dancing and the Governor of Punjab (I think) throwing out the first pitch. So, no ethnic foods, no additional information, nothing. Not terribly educational for the usual tank-top flip-flop crowd at Shea.

The photo above poorly illustrates how the Met guy was kinda making fun of the dancers by doing the robot and the running man as they were doing their traditional dance. It was pretty screwed up right there.

I guess baseball ticket sales must be way down if they are having appreciation days for ethnic groups in order to increase attendance on days that would otherwise be dismal. To tell you the truth, the stadium was less than half full. Furthermore, I didn't see much of the game because I was blinded by the advertisements, which explains why I woke up this morning with a Toyota that I purchased with my MasterCard, insured through Geico and filled with ice cold Pepsi. Get your Pepsi heeere!
