Saturday Morning Donuts and Mazzilli

Good morning Mets fans.

I’m doing some detective work about the Mazzilli Ball I found last night, and I think it explains EVERYTHING. I may have solved it all – my childhood, what this blog is about, everything. I will write that up for Monday since nobody reads the blog on Saturday.

The hound woke us up at 6:40 which was annoying, but Mr. Mets Police was nice and went to the Unnamed Donuts Chain for me.

Here’s today’s jersey choice.  Yes it has dropshadow.  Yell at the Mets not me.  I can’t be having custom non-dropshadow Mazz jerseys made unless you guys start clicking on a lot of ads.

I have to run out to lacrosse so I can’t rotate that image for you.  Tilt your head.

As I have been mentioning, I really dig Adam Rubin’s morning news roundup on ESPN NY…MetsBlog has followed.  It’s good for Mets fans if those two sites push each other – and it’s weird to even say that because Matt, Michael & co do such a great job at MetsBlog it’s crazy to think they are being pushed….but Rubin is bringing it.  Fun to watch and read.

Oh, and I just learned there is a teacher named Mrs. Roboto, although I’m not sure I am spelling that correctly.  If you’re of a certain age you know why I am giggling.

I can’t wait to write up my unified theory…but I gotta head out.

Of all days for me to find my autographed Mets baseball

I swear to Seaver this is a real deal post. This just happened tonight, I didn’t save it

I’m cleaning out the basement here on Lee Mazzilli’s birthday and I found the most amazin’ thing!


This baseball. I don’t even recall owning it…


Those are some of the guys who signed it. I see Lenny Randle and some signatures I cant make out.

As you can tell this forgotten ball unfortunately wasn’t taken care of – and has moved at least 4 houses.

But although you can’t make it out, it is indeed signed to me by one particular player…


How awesome.

My dad must have made this happen oh 30 something years ago.

He’s long gone but wow here’s this baseball in a house my dad never saw.

Pretty friggin’ cool!!!

Happy birthday Lee Mazzilli, thanks for signing me this ball.
