Gotham needs to make a choice -- and  it's not Yankees or Mets but when to see these beloved and successful teams play each other (at Citi Field) in 2023.

As Gotham looks forward to another successful outdoor gathering -- we get to enjoy the splendors of Alley Pond Park in Bayside Queens next Saturday, September 17 for our annual (free) Gotham Picnic and Softball game at Alley-Springfield (entrance on 76th Avenue off Springfield Boulevard; do not forget to RSVP!) and coming off another Annual Bob Formica Golf Outing sponsored by Raj Goel/Brainlink International, Inc. -- Gotham already faces a tough decision for 2023:  As folks who read one of the commentaries in this space last month know, a very large group of Gotham members, their families, friends and colleague enjoys an annual outing to Citi Field where this commentator's Mets hosts Friday's blogger's Yankees.  We have two (2) dates to select from, Tuesday, June 13 or Wednesday, June 14.  Some of the members of my FDR Lodge #613 Knights of Pythias group that also has a group in "our" section are pushing Tuesday; other the Wednesday (different reasons).  Both Gotham and the knights sell out their respective blocks of tickets that support their respective Gotham and Kings-FDR Tolerance Foundations.  This commentator just seeks some guidance from the many Gotham members who already reserved tickets -- You know who you are -- the event is sold out (based on the reservations and the usual order Gotham traditionally places) and if further reservations come in, I may need to request more tickets when I place the formal order (I am sure my Mets rep, Aaron Ryley will like that!).   So Gotham, especially those who placed reservations for the 2023 Mets v. Yankees at Citi Field, what's your pleasure,

Tuesday, June 13?

or

Wednesday, June 14?
