Must Read Kevin Mitchell article!

Hey gang, stop wasting time here on Mets Police and go read The Embattled Bad Boy of Major League Baseball – Narratively about Kevin Mitchell.

Mitchell caught my eye, like many Mets fans, in the spring of 1984.  He was this dude out of nowhere that could hit…and then Davey Johnson started cowboying the defense and playing him at SHORTSTOP (and you guys bitched about Murph, you would have lost your minds at this one).

A really solid player with the Mets who they ran out of time lest he turn Gooden and Strawberry into anything but Model Citizens…who then of course won an MVP.  Sigh.

Anyway, great read, new info on “the cat story” and more.  Do it.

Thanks to Michael Stahl for sending it over here.
