So it wasn’t too much of a shock that I didn’t make the Mets Police Twitter 86 list. If anything, I probably owe 86% of my Twitter followers to Mets Police. I knew what I needed to do to get more attention though – more cowbell, er, I mean more Mazzilli. And so I reached back into my extensive archives to put together this piece.
Longtime readers will know that Lee Mazzilli has been in my autograph collection since the early ’90s, when I met him at an autograph signing in Filene’s. When certified autograph cards became all the rage, Mazzilli was sadly absent amid all of the Gary Carter, Keith Hernandez, Dwight Gooden, Darryl Strawberry, Davey Johnson, Mookie Wilson, and even Kevin Mitchell autographs.
