Please note I asked “Where was Tom Seaver?” not “Where the hell was Tom Seaver?”…
…however, I keep wondering where Tom was. Â Perhaps he was visiting family, feeding the homeless, taking a day of prayer, playing golf, tending to the vineyards…maybe he wasn’t invited, maybe he felt is weird since he was in the Red Sox

After yesterday’s out of sequence look at 1987, here’s the 1975 yearbook featuring good old Tom Seaver. Â Nicknamed”The Franchise” it’s good to know he’ll be a Met forever. Â Note the price has snuck up to a dollar – a 33% increase!
We did another audio version of Mets Police tonight. Â You can listen below, and we’ll do another one next Sunday at 6:30. Â Topics covered included: Wayne Hagin, Mets Fan Panic, Santana the Ace, K-Rod and the shaky history of Mets closers, Old-Timers Day 2011, All-Star Game 2013 and is David Wright one of the Top

I haven’t seen Mets Yearbook 1978 yet but Osh41 has. Â You kids that are stressed about 2009 have NO IDEA what bad is. Â At least you knew everyone was coming back. Â Imagine if Wright, Reyes and Santana were in Reds uniforms. Â Here’s Osh…
Mets Yearbook – by the way – how great is this

Sometimes I point out that on paper, if you had to trade Seaver, getting Pat Zachry back looked pretty good.
One day he was 10-3 and on his way to the All-Star Game. Â The Wall Street Journal’s really cool sports section takes it form here.
Mr. Zachry, angry at himself, saw a helmet on the ground

When leaving Citi Field, consider taking the elevator that’s between third base and home. Â You’ll exit through the Seaver Gate and see these hanging on the wall.

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

Hey big thanks to @koyote19 on twitter for sending over this pic (gave me something to work on during Lebron). I remember that day and it feels like not that long ago. 20 years? Wow.
Happy Father’s Day. Â Hopefully I am on an undelayed plane on my way home so I will leave you with this true story.
Last year I got to meet Tom Seaver. Â I hate being “that guy” so I’m not going to walk up to him and say “I really liked you on the Mets” which I’m

Man I really enjoyed Einstein Bagels, I mean Dunkin’ Donuts.
Yep yep sitting on my deck, definitely not trying to pretend this wasn’t pre-written last week.
So if you’re thinking “man, Shannon wrote a lot about jerseys this week, I wonder if he had to write the blog in advance” you are totally wrong.
I’m sure Media Goon’s

I hate Greg Prince from Faith and Fear. Â He is a jerkyface.
Why do I hate this man?
I went the whole day yesterday shaking fists of rage “HOW COULD YOU TRADE TOM SEAVER?”
I have been mentioning the Seaver Trade a lot lately. Â It’s not like I didn’t know the Mets traded Seaver it’s just that over

I took Saturday afternoon and night “off” from blogging – figured Media Goon’s tour would be enough to keep ‘all company…..so how did I relax?
Well how I escaped from obsessing about the Mets was by reading a book.
Which book?
Faith and Fear In Flushing.
Wow. Â This is the book I wish I had the ability to
