I was researching something else and stumbles across this photo (from the great Mets by the Numbers site).
It combines everything horrible about the Mets of that time – Fran Healy’s broadcasting AND a Mercury Mets jersey.
Knowing that Howie is a kindred spirit, I wonder what he did with his.
By the way, I would love to have a Mercury Mets cap for the sheer quirkiness.
By the way, major props to SNY. Â There were a few years when Mets telecasts were unwatchable, and that was with Howie in the booth. Â Cablevision, the home of quality.
Believe it or not, I actually own both a Mercury Mets jersey and cap. I’m not quite sure why….LOL. I’ll have to send photos just for the heck of it.
