Wow this is pretty hideous…but yep it went for $7 on eBay. Seller said it was made in 1991. Thanks to Sparks for the heads-up…I think. I’m not sure any of us are better off for having seen this. Do I really gotta believe? Can I just not believe?
Trying to Remember Joe Frazier « Faith and Fear in Flushing
From a few days ago…once again Greg Prince crushes. Joe Frazier is just before my time…like I think that I became big fan during the first two weeks of June 1977. I only remember Torre as manager, kinda remember that he was in theory a player-manager, and I definitely felt the anguish of June 15th…and as mentioned previously had met Seaver earlier in my life.
Anyways, Greg has a writing skill that I don’t have…enjoy a taste and then go read the entire thing.
Things certainly felt faster, however. Frazier, Jerry Koosman observed in his new manager’s first May, had the Mets “running, stealing, playing hit-and-run. Yogi wasn’t the type to move the ballclub.” Ed Kranepool agreed that “Joe does all the little things … [He] keeps you in the game. He’s all over the place. He’s in your locker. He’ll tell you something about how to field or how to hit. I like that.”

Aerial video of World’s Fair and Mets at Shea
Stop everything, find 4 minutes and behold the greatness that was Flushing-Meadows Park. 2 and a half minutes in you’ll get a nice long aerial shot of a Mets game in progress, including nice looks at the original seat color scheme.
Which of the Mets jersey costs less?
Here are two terrible jerseys available on Majestic Athletic. Which do you think is cheaper?
Wrong. The Ollie costs more. Please buy one and wear it to Citi so I can goof on you.
