Now we’re into the age that I remember. Â Although we’re looking at Angel’s yearbook collection, I own this one myself. Â The price has crept up to $1.25 (25% increase after trading Tom Seaver, are you insane?). Â I think this one has the cool Old Timer’s Day recap – from when the Mets had Mays, Joe D, the Duke and maybe it was Mantle? Â I have to dust off my chocolate stained version of this.
Dad. whereever you are your $1.25 clearly made an impression on me. Â Thanks!
John “The Monster is out of the Cage” Stearns on the cover. He busted his ass for terrible Mets teams, and brought swagger to a franchise that desperately needed it. I’d love to lock him in a room with Oliver Perez and see what happens.
John Stearns baby!!..a worthy successor to the great jerry grote and a nice guy to boot. when i worked at shea those terrible met team years he would always talk to me or say hello when i passed him in the tunnel or saw him on the field.
Stearns is/was a good guy. I met him at a batting range when I was 10 or so and told him I was a catcher. He gave me a free catching clinic right there.
