This is the fifth post in this series. We’ve already covered the men who’ve serve as managers, opening day starters, catchers and first basemen for the Mets over their 50 year history. Today, we’ll take a gander at the guys who’ve manned second for the Metropolitans over the years, in cardboard form, of course. Charlie […]

I recently completed a trade with fellow Mets fan and Jerseyite Paul from Paul’s Random Baseball Stuff. I always enjoy a good trade in general, but there’s something especially nice about pulling on off with another fan of your favorite team. If nothing else, it helps to clear out some of the massive piles of […]

As you may recall, a few weeks ago my old man had given me a few packs of junk wax era cards and I decided to have an epic 3 way Pack Clash. Well, it was such a hoot that I decided to do another one. There happens to be a supermarket near my house […]

I happen to pay […]

On we march. Pack 9 – #37 Ron Gardenhire One weird thing that I noticed, there’s only 5 managers cards in this set. There’s Gardenhire, Torre, LaRussa, Bob Brenley and Bobby Cox. Now, in the 2002 season, all 5 of their teams won their divisions. But, there’s 6 divisions in baseball? What happened to Oakland? […]

Now we’re getting to the good stuff – the cards. Pack 1 – #24 Luis Gonzalez #41 Manny Ramirez Whaaaat? Who the hell is this guy on Manny Ramirez’ card? Security! Seriously folks, in my mind 2003 is not that long ago, but looking at these cards, I feel like it’s 20 years ago. I […]

Before I get into this, I just want to touch on two points. First, I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but I live in New Jersey and work in Manhattan, which means I have about an hour and 15 minute commute by train/subway in the morning. Normally, this time is very relaxing for […]
