Looks like the media intern at the QBC is on her game today. Follow the QBC on Facebook as I assume at some point they will actually let us buy tickets. Well, not me, I know people at the door.
Now that they’ve had Ron and Keith when will they have Gare? Can I moderate that panel?

A 5-time All Star and 11-time Gold Glove winner, in 1986 Hernandez led the Mets to their second World Series Championship. In 1987, in recognition of his leadership, he was named the first Captain in the team’s history. Hernandez retired following the 1990 season with 2,182 hits and a .296 lifetime batting average.
In 1992, Hernandez made a now famous guest appearance on Seinfeld where he befriended Jerry and briefly dated Elaine. Six years later he reprised his role in the series finale.
In 1999 Hernandez joined Gary Cohen and fellow 86er Ron Darling to form SNY’s award winning Mets broadcast team.
