Clearly the Mets are trying to get me to buy a Mazzilli jersey.
When L. J. Mazzilli arrived at the Mets’ minor league complex for spring training last week, his blue jersey was already hanging in his locker. Mazzilli, No. 13, it read. He had not known that his name would be on it. And that he would be wearing one of his father’s old numbers, for one of his father’s old teams. And that it would be a real number, not some absurdly high one, like 75 or 63, that rarely shows up in the regular season

Now you know how this plays out right? My favorite baseball player of all-time? Lee Mazzilli. My favorite Mets player now? Daniel Murphy the second baseman. And where does New Mazzilli play? Second base. Uh-oh. I guess I will root against Ike.
