Games that start after 10 o’clock? Games that end around 1 in the morning? Ugh. Fortunately, the Mets were able to hang on by their toenails last night against the Dodgers and win it 3-2. Of course since it was a close one, I wasn’t able to go to sleep until that last out was […]

Today we’ll be taking a trip back through time to see who’s covered the first base bag for the Mets throughout their […]

Three more days. The torture. The starting first baseman for the 1986 Mets, position #3 on your scorecard, my favorite all-time baseball player, Keith Hernandez. Not surprisingly, Mex had a lot to do with the Mets winning it all in 1986. Obviously, he had yet another stellar year defensively, winning his 8th consecutive Gold Glove. […]

A while back, I had posted about a TTM success that I recently got back from former Red Sox pitcher and current wack-o Bill “The Spaceman” Lee. Chris from Project ’62 had contacted me about getting a copy of the Bill Lee card for his Bill Lee player collection that he started last year. Now, […]

Here we go again. 1983 Topps Traded #101T Tom Seaver I wish I was a little older and more aware of things in 1983. I’m sure it was a joyous day in Metsville when they welcomed The Franchise back into the fold. I just don’t remember. I’m sure my Dad was psyched. I was actually […]
