The kids are hogging the Wii, Mrs. Mets Police is out so I can’t go do athletics…so I’m left to surf the internet. The Lee Mazzilli Google Alert is strong today.
This one from Baseball Digest..
Early on in Mazzilli’s playing years, he set a minor league record while playing in the California League by stealing seven bases in one game for the Mets’ minor league affiliate, Visalia. Well known throughout Brooklyn for not only his athleticism but also his good looks, Mazzilli had the privilege of entertaining fans across the country, as well as in front of his hometown crowd playing home games for the Mets at Shea Stadium and the Yankees later on at old Yankee Stadium. How many baseball players in Brooklyn would love to be associated with the Mets or the Yankees, let alone both.
