Mets Fan Released From Egyptian Jail is Told the Mets Won The World Series

He said it would be hard to express his deep appreciation to everyone who helped free him.

“There’s so many people to thank,” he said, “and after being cut off for the past five months …”

Ackerman quickly interjected, “We told him the Mets won the World Series.”

Grapel, a sports fan, shot Ackerman a big smile — only to quickly feel the let-down most Mets fans are all too familiar with when he quickly figured out that the team had tanked — again.

That seems a little harsh. Having said that, I hope the city of Chicago gets wrongfully locked up abroad. I want to be the one to greet them as they’re released.

“Hey! Theo did it! The Cubs won,” I’ll say.

“Hooray,” they’ll shout!

Then I’ll show them the Cubs actually finished in third place and it only cost them $150 million. They’ll still think that Epstein guy is a miracle worker.
