The Mets can be very proud: They didn’t fire Willie Randolph on Father’s Day.

No, they allowed Randolph and two of his doomed coaches to fly to the West Coast and lead the team to one last victory.

In Anaheim, Ca.

Via a press release.

At 3:12 a.m. ET.

But thank goodness it was after Father’s Day — a tribute to the Mets’ keen sense of public relations.

I do not say this lightly: The Mets’ firings of Randolph, pitching coach Rick Peterson and first base coach Tom Nieto will go down as one of the most disgraceful episodes in sports history.

Randolph had to go, but no self-respecting organization would treat its employees with such little decency. With the exception of one unfortunate interview, Randolph conducted himself with dignity.

Now, incredibly, he’s a martyr.

The stain not only is on general manager Omar Minaya, but also those above him — specifically owner Fred Wilpon and his son Jeff, the team’s chief operating officer.

Well-said Ken…….AD
