In some ways this is a companion piece to the Times article I posted. I meant to get to this one last week but I’m still fighting off Zombie Virus…but it made me laugh because it’s so true: it always comes back to the Seaver Trade.
when a Mets fan spots a fellow Mets fan, especially down here in Greater Trenton, at the very edges of Metsdom? At the very least, there’s a nod of mutual understanding, at the most, a teary hug, with the middle ground being a 20-minutes stop-and-chat that invariably comes back to A) trading Tom Seaver, B) the 1986 Mets or C) usually both.
