You know the story. You’re at Target and/or Walmart running errands and happen by the card aisle. Of course you can’t just walk by without just popping your head in to see what’s that haps. Then your pocket starts to heating up and before you know it, there’s a hole burning in that pocket. It’s […]
The Mets 1974 contribution to the All-Star squad was a crew that you might not have expected. Yogi Berra mad his first and only appearance at the All-Star game as a manager, thanks to leading the team to the World Series the year before. That goes with his 15 appearances as a player. Jerry Grote […]
And when I say it’s 1962 all over again, I mean that the Mets played the very first game in the history of the franchise 50 years ago today, a road game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Being in 1st place with a 4-1 record is about as far from 1962 that you can get. […]
One time top Mets prospect turned not-so-sure-what-to-think-about-him-being-claimed-off-of-waivers prospect Fernando Martinez has been claimed by the American League Houston Astros.

For those of you out there with an elephant’s memory, you know what I’m talking about. For those of you with a regular, people sized memory, let me remind you. A few days ago, I had sent yet another in a long line of emails concerning that redemption and today I got a reply saying […]
Today I am finally going to put to rest the series of posts that I started on the swag that I scored from reader Michael in exchange for making him a custom 1938 Cubs card set. Funny how you get thrown off track by silly things like the World Series. I suppose todays episode really […]
Crazy.
