(Please help us get the word out by sharing this post on your Facebook wall. Thanks!)

Wally Backman will be joining Mookie Wilson and the rest of us at the Queens Baseball Convention which will be held Saturday January 10th at McFadden’s Citi Field beginning at noon.

Wally and Mookie will each take part in separate one hour panel discussions, and then sign separately for autographs, each for an hour (one item per person, the autograph is included as part of your admission).

So you’ll get an hour of Mookie on a panel, an hour of Mookie autographs, an hour of Wally on a panel, and then an hour of Wally signing autographs.

Also announced:

  • the return of The Greatest Discussion Of Mets Uniforms Of All Time, a panel moderated by Paul Lukas of Uni Watch
  • a lively debate of “Meaningful Games In September” – is that a good enough goal? Come take part in the discussion.
  • a discussion of the making of ‘86 Mets: The Movie
  • a Decades panel hosted by Darren Meenan (The 7 Line).   Every fan thinks his or her fandom is in the sweet-spot of being the best fan and having had the best fan experience. Fans representing the 60′s, 70′s, 80′s, 90′s and 00′s discuss their persepctives.
  • The 2015 Gil Hodges Award presented annually by the QBC to a special figure in our team’s history whose memory will always warm our hearts, brighten our spirits and light our way.
  • The Mazzy Awards – Player of the Year, Mets Executive Of The Year, and some other silly awards we’ll make up as we get closer.
  • The Jersey Parade – wear your best (or worst) jersey and be commented on by our judges? Why?  It’s fun.

 

More announcement to come including more programming, special guests, VIP mascots, and the fun and games selections.
