Shannon posts “What’s in your closet?” from time to time. Tom from 408 to Center sent us over some stuff. Heres what he had to say.
Happy opening day. When i got my ticket plan and the watch that came with it i realized i have a pretty nice collection of cool Mets stuff. Seeing all the “what’s in your closet” stuff on your site, I put this one up on mine. Thought you may dig it.
Here is my brick from Shea Stadium. I splurged for the $100 brick that at one time was in the field of play at Shea, before they added padding on the wall.
This is my Mike Piazza autographed baseball. Got this one in person. He was a cool dude.
And this is my pride and joy…my Edgardo Alfonzo autographed jersey, shadowboxed and haning on my wall. Fonzie is probably my all time favorite Met. I followed him when he was a minor leaguer all the way to the finish of his career. I wish things could have turned out better for him. But a bad back really derailed him. Either way he was a true professional who had a great approach at the plate. He signed it up the 1 in June of 2000 at a charity function.
Thanks Tom. Tom also has more on his blog. Click here to check it out.
That blue alfonzo jersey is what I want to replace the black jersey.
I love that jersey. I got it in 1997. That would be awesome if they brought one in like that.
