I had a feeling that they might try to play this one this way. Usually when MLB teams do something like this, the entire league is behind it… NOT just one team.

Mets Pitcher Dillon Gee came out and said they were duped…

“I don’t have a whole lot to say, because I don’t want to argue the issue, that wasn’t my intent,” Gee told The News. “Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I just didn’t like being lumped in with something I don’t support. There was a miscommunication and I just wanted to clear it up.”

A Mets spokesperson said that the team understands that it has several players and employees who are hunters and believe in gun safety. The team’s participation was meant to support the “Wear Orange” campaign, which was inspired by a group of Chicago teens. “Today by wearing orange you visibly honor the 88 American lives cut short by gun violence every day, plus the countless survivors forever altered by shootings each year,” the Mets said in a release in their daily game notes.

“So I’m not pointing fingers. Just clearing up that I don’t support the (law) of gun control,” Gee said. “I’m still against gun violence. But they are totally different subjects.”
