Gooden, Strawberry and Mazzilli coming to Old Timers’ Day!

Hey good news!

Dwight Gooden, Darryl Strawberry and Lee Mazzilli will all be at Old Timers’ Day on June 26th!

Bad news!

It’s in the Bronx!

Why market your own history when you can let Hal steal it?

Mr. Einhorn, I’m making sad eyes at you. I know you’re one of us. You can do this.

It’s apparently easy to get those three to a game. Darling, Hernandez, Ojeda and Mookie are all employees. We’ve done almost no work and there’s 7 great names already coming.

Come on Dave – you and I both want to see Kong, excuse me “Sky King” (rolls eyes) out there.


Mr. Kingman was often called Kong. He didn’t like the nickname and preferred “Sky King”. Nobody called him that. Nobody.

  1. Kong fit better in tabloid headlines, but I definitely remember hearing the nickname Sky King also.

  2. The only history this franchise embraces is that that occurred on Bedford Ave and Sullivan Place. If it happened on 126th and Roosevelt it means nothing to them.

  3. straw,goody and mazzmatazz i liked them as mets and would love to see them at the event and cheer them…with my mets jersey.
