ESPN.com LA Coming, When Will We See NYC?

Maybe it’s the blogger in me, but I find ESPN’s local site strategy to be very interesting.  Will be fun to watch when they come to NYC.

More here.

Personally I think they need a Mushnick-lite type to complain about the Mets once or twice a week.

Five Questions For An Average Mets Fan (Fan #48)

$48….the number of Randy Myers, and our 48th fan with answers to the 5 Questions for an average Mets fan is Charles..

1. When did you start following the Mets?
1972, Willie Mays was brought home, Dad
took me to a game and Henry Aaron hit two out.
Willie made a basketcatch in CF.  The love affair
began.
2. What is your favorite Mets memory?
1986, the season and what it meant to all of us.
The post-season, the celebration, finally realizing
and understanding we were the best.
3. What is your worst Mets memory or experience? 

George Thomas Seaver being traded.1988, blowing up against the Dodgers.  Gooden admitting a terrible problem.

4. If you could change one off-field thing about the franchise what would it be? 
The Wilpons to sell.  If you love your business and cant do it very well, youd put someone else in charge and sit back and reap
their work and benefit from their work.  If you dont want to do that and continue to fail, you sell.  
5. If you owned the team starting tomorrow, what is the first thing you would change?
The culture which has taken over this team and is is now very much alive.  That being the second best in this town is OK.  Its not.  Embrace the past, the good and the bad, celebrate Tom, Kooz, Gil, 73, 86, 00.  The fact that, that place opened up without a tribute or statue dedicated to Gil or Tom is a disgrace.
Again, please sell, Mr Wilpon.  If you love it, let it go.

More pictures of retro jerseys in the wild. I guess I should stop being lazy and actually walk in the Modell’s.

Angels Gave Adenhart A Full Share

From a few days ago, I missed this perhaps you did too…anyways I like when baseball players do right.

Putting their money where their hearts are, the Angels have voted to send a full share of their postseason purse to the estate of Nick Adenhart, the young pitcher whose death in an auto accident on April 9 stunned the organization and the baseball world.

Show Your Stirrups!

Here’s a guest post from Stan…


Hey Shannon,
 

I was wondering, aside from the Mets needing to ditch any and all black from their uniforms is there any chance a movement can occur to eliminate the dopey down to the ankle pants?

Don’t you think it’s high time MLB issued a declaration to get rid of the over done, awful and out dated looking ankle pants? The only guy who ever looked cool in ankle length pants was George Hendrick….that’s it.

It’s a look and style I am completely fed up with seeing. It was already played out and stupid looking by the mid 90’s.

What do you think about a return to the stirrup styles of the 1970’s and 80’s? I’m sure you know what I’m talking about! Any chance they go back to the old style? The way they are supposed to be (I’m not talking the all solid color with no white sock showing either that some players seldom wear nowadays).


High stirrup, plenty of white sock showing ala Keith Hernandez and Don Sutton and those guys. Any thoughts?

Absolutely.   It’s such a better look.   What cracked me up is I did a quick google to make sure “stirrup” was the correct term, and this wiki entry says…





Baseball stirrups – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stirrups are uniform socks commonly worn by baseball players up until the mid-1990s, when major-league players began wearing their pants down to the ankles, …
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball_stirrups

..which goes right with what you said.    Baseball somehow got past the horrible uniforms of the 1970’s (take a look at some of Cleveland’s or even the Giants), maybe someday the 1990’s uniforms will be looked at with similar derision…and yeah, show those socks!
