Coughy McDropstuff (formerly known as Mrs. Mets Police) decided we should all be up EARLY today. So far this morning I’m about as useful as Oliver Perez. While I find something to make my brain work, here’s something I found last week while I was in Comic Book Mode.
One man. One day. Two teams.
The animated adventures of a 4th outfielder turned All-Star.
No?
Oh…Youngblood is a superhero team that starred in their self-titled comic book, created by writer/artist Rob Liefeld. The team made its debut as a backup feature in the 1987 one-shot Megaton: Explosion before later appearing in its own ongoing series in 1992 as the flagship publication for Image Comics. Youngblood was originally published by Image Comics, and later by Awesome Entertainment.
Kids, as the Daily News tells us: On Aug. 4, 1982 is a Joel Youngblood will never forget. On that date, the former Mets outfielder made baseball history by getting hits for two different teams in two different cities. And both hits came against future Hall of Famers – Ferguson Jenkins and Steve Carlton.
I have the 1st 5 issues of that series.
does he get traded to another city?
