Francesca says that Keith told him that he’d manage the Mets if asked. Wow. I never thought he’d ever say yes. We all know from the 80s that Keith is a leader, and knew pitchers – he’s a fan fave, was the captain, and has baseball smarts. They should consider asking.
Speaking of Keith – he and the boys have a new website

And I made some tweaks to make this thing load faster. Sorry for the slow loads. So the fun countdown to the hypothetical press conference is gone, and I close the poll. Final results of “If not Willie…who?” poll with original Keith won’t do it phrasing.
Lee Mazzilli 28 (38%)
Wally Backman 18 (24%)
Jerry Manuel 4 (5%)
Keith Hernandez (who won’t do it) 7 (9%)
Somebody Else 16 (21%)
