Interesting to see the connection to Vincent Viola who is another billionaire who is connected to Mike Repole as they are horse owners/lovers and have similar backgrounds. Both Mike and Vincent are Queens/Brooklyn guys from middle class backgrounds who were Catholic High School grads who are self-made billionaires. Vincent graduated from West Point and is very engaged in veteran causes. Maybe Mike can bring him to one of our games.

Viola was an early investor with Repole’s BodyArmor, and both were in as part of Arod’s ownership group for the Mets. So definitely a very strong relationship there, and a no brainer to see what interest there would on supporting the hometown team
