I'm at the parade as Clark Kent but will sneak in some posts. Good enegy here, not an amazing crowd (expecting 1 million???) but jazzed.

Camped out as mascots pass out trinkets. I like not knowing the proper names but so far we've seen

Mr. Met
Bernie Brewer
Nationals Eagle
Twins Bear
Padres Padre
Giants Lou Seal
RedSox Green Dude #97
Diamondbacks Baxter (huh?)
And now Astros Bunny

More to come

Ok now that I’ve got your attention – the Hall of Garvey is something I invented a few years back. It’s a place for really good players who ain’t Hall of Famers.

Steve Garvey was the inaugural inductee.

Other names frequently nominated include Don Mattingly and Keith Hernandez. This week a friend suggested Gooden.

What say ye? Is Keith worthy of the HOG? Any other nominations?

I know a lot of people don’t, but I love it. I especially love the pregame ceremonies and the intros.

The Ted Williams year – awesome.

Ripken returns to short.

Kruk turns around against Randy Johnson.

Staying up late to see the one 70s Met in the game (Mazzilli or Stearns).

Lee Mazzilli homering in an ASG!

Can’t wait for this one and hoping for a ticket to fall from the sky today.

A nice post that will probably generate some memories of your own of “invisible runners” or the over the fence “out” or whatever quirk your homemade field had.
