So there’s this kid. He loves the Mets. Really, doesn’t everyone? But he loves them so much he forged an NBC employee card and got a press pass so he could get into Shea Stadium to watch them play.

And now he’s in the pokey.

Police arrested the 18-year-old Leli Friday night at Shea just before the start of the New York Mets-Colorado Rockies game and charged him with impersonating a journalist, the Queens District Attorney announced Saturday…

Leli was also charged with criminal possession of a forged instrument, falsifying business records, larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, criminal impersonation and criminal trespass.

He was arraigned Saturday in Queens Criminal Court and released on his own recognizance.

Leli was scheduled to return to court on Sept. 27. He faces up to seven years in prison if he’s convicted.

Man, not even George Will loves it that much!
