As I put together the Morning Laziness I do a scan of twitter for Mets to see what comes up. This tweet caught my eye.

And I thought I would check it out. But to my surprise…
..it was Old Timers’ Day!
Unfortunately only 17,000 of us showed up (NL was tracking actual humans in the ballpark in those days) so maybe the Mets would soon decide OT Day wasn’t worth the effort.
Also some Keith Hernandez, Mookie and Hubie and some Ed Lynch. Nice random read!
Click on the image in the tweet and then click it again and you should get a version big enough to read.
