What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
Picked this up on the Mets Auction Site. Dickey is easily my favorite player on this team right now…
I grabbed this David Wright helmet when Steiner Sports was having a sale. Picked up the D. Wright ball on Ebay.
And finally, a Bobby Parnell signed ball to go with the replica pitching rubber signed by him.
I went looking on NYMETS.COM just looking for some memorabilia. I saw that the Mets were auctioning off the Opening Day Gary Carter Tribute BP Jerseys with the proceeds going to The Gary Carter Foundation. Hmm, I thought. I could donate to charity while getting a unique piece of Mets history for myself. I was in. I ended up bidding on Jon Rauch’s jersey. I never thought I would win it, but I did.
Now here is a tag that they put on the front of the jersey, I guess so that way they could be identified when given to the player to wear.
There are two more pics after the jump.

About Wherever I Wind Up
A 37-year-old knuckleballer and lover of literature, Dickey has emerged as not only a Met fan favorite but among the most thoughtful and compelling personalities in baseball – and one of the most improbable success stories in the game. Scarcely two years after he was sleeping on an inflatable mattress in Buffalo, pondering whether he should abandon baseball to teach English Literature, Dickey has become one of the most reliable starters in the National League. His ascent is a testament to his perseverance and hard work, and to a faith that has carried him through a difficult life journey. With searing honesty, Dickey writes about growing up in an alcoholic home, surviving sexual abuse and living with crushing shame and fear. He writes with both power and humor as he chronicles the hardships of chasing a baseball dream when very few people think you are good enough to make it.
A man of deep humility and self-awareness, Dickey’s candor is as remarkable as his knuckleball is unpredictable – making Wherever I Wind Up a uniquely American story of beating back demons, listening to your heart, and overcoming extraordinary odds – a memoir that as Publishers Weekly says “sets a new standard for athlete autobiographies.”
