What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
Sometimes the Mets try too damn hard. Such was the case with Turn Ahead The Clock Night. For a full history of the Mercury Mets I refer you to Uni Watch.
and here’s Pete the king of Mercury Mets
Kevin sent in this TATC night sketch I ad not seen before, and also the picture of Hershiser.
I really wasn’t paying attention when this happened. Kevin who sent it in thinks it was 1999. That would be about right because I was newly married and I think that was the year I was ticked off at Cablevision for trying to charge me $10 extra for Sportschannel so I went without.
Anyway – these are cool jerseys. And take a close look at V’s cap.
I’d still rather have David Cone play his heart out for me.
Dan saw this on eBay. It will not be joining my Mazzilli poster in my office.
These have grown on me over the years. At the time I HATED them (Osh41 fired me up) and found them completely unnecessary. Now they are sort of like Mercury Mets jerseys: fun to dig out, but the Mets shouldn’t wear them. I like the road one a little better than the home.
What’s scary is we thought there could be nothing worse. If only we knew. Be careful what you wish for.
