Man, I’ve been slacking on this series. I still have 5 positions left to go and only about a month left in the season. We’ve already looked at the managers, catchers, Opening Day starting pitchers, first basemen and second basemen. We’ve also gone through the players the Mets have sent to the All-Star Game every […]

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 […]

Tito was what you might call “outgoing”. So outgoing in fact, he earned the nickname “Parakeet” because he chatted so much with opposing players while he was on the base paths. His son also has a colorful name – “Clinch”. That’s no nickname, however. The boy was born the same day that the Giants clinched […]

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 […]

The Mets representatives at the 1973 Mid-Summer Classic were all Hall of Famers. 1973 marked the end of an unprecedented era. It marked Willie Mays final appearance as a National League All-Star. Again, not to disparage his accomplishments, but I think he must’ve gotten in on the basis of his good looks or something, because […]

The Mets were back up to 3 players on the 1972 All-Star Team. Although I’m loathe to even suggest anything untoward about the Say Hey Kid, I kind of get the impression that his 1972 All-Star appearance might’ve been a bit more based on that fact that he’s Willie Mays than anything else. Between the […]
