Good morning. Â More generic content today (been decent so far, no?) as I focus on Real Job and Media Goon minds the store.

Thanks to Kevin for sending this over. Â Wow wow wow.
Look how small everyone is. Â That’s the baseball I remember before everyone started taking vitamins in 1995.
Ralph Kiner in his 80′s: charming. Â Ralph Kiner in his 50′s wasn’t so good. Sorry. Â Murph appears later – sounds great.
Who is that bum managing the team? Â He’ll

A cool article from MLB.com remembering when Lee Mazzilli was in the All Star Game.
When Mazzilli was selected to the Midsummer Classic at age 24, many figured he would make a return trip to the game at some point in his career. But in 10 more seasons with five different teams, the outfielder and

Hey, what’s with that new header image at the top of the blog? It’s the image I will be using for 70′s week. Â Randy from The Apple sent it over, and I’m not sure what’s that 70′s about it, the car isn’t for sure but there was sometihng about the color scheme and the

I spent the day reading more of the awesome Faith and Fear book and it bought back more of that stuff I of course know but it still zings my brain:
Lee Mazzilli won a ring with the Mets!

Randy from the Apple wrote about Lee Mazzilli’s pants. Those pants apparently made quite an impression on at least one young boy from Queens in the 1970′s.
First up, an apology to Maple Street Press. Â In March they were kind enough to send me the Maple Street Mets Annual which was and is a really excellent resource for Mets fans – and the excuses don’t matter, I blew it and never did a proper review. Â I don’t have a time machine and

Believe it or not I’m not good at catching jersey nitpicks….help.
As you may know, I have a man crush on Lee Mazzilli that dates back to the late 1970′s.
I want to buy myself some sort of Mazzilli jersey (number 16 of course, how dare they give that to some rookie pitcher in 1984) but I don’t know how to handle it.
They sell Mazzilli jerseys, but

Yes I actually have a Lee Mazzilli Google alert – I was very excited about this first paragraph of a story:
