  • WFAN's Mike Francesa willing to take a dive for charity

    Here is an item I wrote for my Friday newspaper column that I am posting now because . . . well, I just can't resist:

    When I heard Mike Francesa accept the invitation of Mets executive VP Dave Howard Wednesday to visit the dunk tank at Citi Field, I assumed one of two things:

    That Francesa was kidding, or perhaps that he thought the invite was to be the dunker, not the dunkee.

    I asked him about it Thursday. Turns out he was not kidding and that he is up for getting wet in public – for a cause.

    “As long as it’s a nice, warm day and it would be for charity, I’ll gladly go in the tank,’’ he said.

    Um, really? “I’m sure I will draw quite a crowd of Mets fans looking to dunk me. I’m looking forward to it.’’

    What would he charge? “We’ll try to make it very steep for the media.’’
