Not much going on in Queens. The Times had a nice article about a clipboard giveaway from 1977. Nice read.
In 1977, the Mets went 64-98, finishing 37 games off the pace, and traded Tom Seaver. How I loved that team: Lee Mazzilli’s cheeky basket catches, Lenny Randle’s blockbuster speed, Pat Zachry’s stunning beard, so thick you could lose a comebacker in there. Barely a million fans came out to Shea, the Mets’ lowest attendance since their awful inaugural season. So bereft of highlights were the program’s producers that Kiner resorted to a rundown of the promotional days.
