I held back on this for a few days since today is a busy “real life” day for me.
On Sunday, Mushnick wrote about former New York (baseball) Giant Eddie Grant who we have written about before.
Mushnick:
A Grant plaque could make special any wall in patrons’ view within Citi Field. And with the Brooklyn Dodgers holding a visible presence within Citi Field, sustaining Grant’s memory as both a New York Giant and the only major leaguer to be killed in action in WW I would be a noble deed. If not the Mets, who?
The Mets have been contacted about Grant and, preliminarily, seem interested. Good. Soldier, scholar and athlete, Eddie Grant, especially among those who never heard of him, should not be forgotten.
Should The Plaque Be At Citi Field?

Nice sentiment. But why? Screw the Giants. Screw the Dodgers. You want a Polo Grounds Museum in Manhattan? Cool. But this guy has nothing to do with the Mets. Maybe we'll become a valid MLB franchise one day IF we let go of this dead-team crap. Christ!—what's next? Honoring the team that played in Hoboken in the mid-19th century?
