Ugh. This is going to be close. In honor of the 50th Anniversary of the New York Mets, I’ve been looking at the primary players at each position throughout the teams history. We’ve already looked at the managers, Opening Day starting pitchers, catchers, first basemen, second basemen,shortstops, third basemen and left fielders, as well as all of the Mets’ All-Star representatives. […]
Later on tonight, I will be doing something that I haven’t done in a crow’s age. I will be sitting on a couch, drinking a beer and watching LIVE METS BASEBALL!!! Granted, it’s spring training baseball and granted I won’t be home until about a half an hour after the game starts so most likely […]
In case you haven’t heard, today marks the day that Mets knuckleballer and all around super cool guy R.A. Dickey starts his ascent of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Aside from climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro being a cool thing to do, he is doing it to raise money and awareness for Bombay Teen Challenge, a charity which helps […]
…my collection gave to me Three Jersey Relics, Two 56’s, And a Cardboard Zeppelin!
Many, many moons ago, I had shown some cards that I got from Chris of Project ’62 in exchange for doing a custom Hornsby relic card that turned into an entire custom set. An unexpected bonus of that deal was that after he showed the final product on his blog, some other folks saw it […]
Can I just start things off by saying that last night was one of the best baseball watching nights I’ve had in what seems like forever.

It’s not too often these days that I can actually feel pretty good about the Mets, but they did sweep the Marlins in a double header yesterday, and that’s put a smile on my face. And yes, I do understand that the Marlins are a team who’ve gone 4-19 over their last 23 games, but […]
So Hurricane Irene has come and gone and hopefully everyone who was in its path made it through safely. I personally was super lucky in that my house escaped 100% unscathed. I think the worse thing that happened was some of my garbage cans blew over, spilling grass clippings everywhere. Things in my corner of […]
So the Beltran Watch is over. He’s gone. From what I hear, the kid they got for him, Zach Wheeler, is supposed to be pretty good, so I guess that’s cool. Personally, I’m a bit bummed by the whole thing. I mean, using my head I completely understand why the trade was made. Using my […]
Hopefully everyone saw the custom relic card that I banged out for Chris from Project 1962. Also, hopefully everyone saw the video I posted of the actual process of tearing apart the original relic card. Now it’s time to take a look at the envelope full of goodies that Chris used to entice me to […]
