**New York Mets Appoint Lew Sherr as President of Business Operations from US Open: A Match Made in Sports Heaven**
In a shocking twist that has left both baseball and tennis fans scratching their heads, the New York Mets have officially appointed Lew Sherr, the former US Open executive, as their new President of Business Operations. The announcement came just moments after Sherr was seen serving aces at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, leading many to wonder if the Mets are now planning to introduce a new “tennis ball” to their pitching rotation.
Mets owner Steve Cohen, who was reportedly inspired by a dream involving a giant tennis racket, stated, “We needed someone who could serve up some serious business acumen. Plus, Lew has a great track record of making people pay exorbitant prices for hot dogs. That’s exactly the kind of innovation we need!”
Sherr, who is known for his ability to turn tennis matches into high-stakes poker games, expressed his excitement about the new role. “I’ve always wanted to be part of a team that can’t seem to find home plate,” he quipped. “I mean, who wouldn’t want to trade in their tennis whites for a Mets jersey? The only difference is that I’ll be dodging foul balls instead of tennis balls!”
In a bizarre twist, Sherr has already announced plans to introduce a “Tennis Night” at Citi Field, where fans can enjoy a game of pickleball between innings. “It’s all about keeping the fans engaged,” he explained. “And if they can’t catch a foul ball, at least they can catch a pickle!”
As the Mets gear up for what promises to be another season of “interesting” decisions, one thing is clear: with Lew Sherr at the helm, the only thing more unpredictable than the Mets’ performance will be the price of popcorn.
