What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
Over at 408 To Center, Tom recently took a look at who else could or should be in the Mets Hall of Fame.
Off the top of my head, Howard Johnson is way up on the leaderboard in many categories. Â John Franco for longevity. Â If Davey is in how about Mel Stottlemeyer?
ESPN New York also tackled the subject.
I see Shake Shack is expanding to the upper east side and on seventh in the 40’s somewhere.
It kind of reminds me of how Nathan’s Coney Island was cool, but a Nathan’s all over the place in the late 70’s ruined it.
What does this have to do with the Mets?
Just curious to see what happens when a Shakeburger isn’t so rare. Do you bother spending $15 on a burger and shake (whatever the number is, I don’t have their menu memorized) or do you go spend $10 at (ironically) Nathan’s.
I don’t know the business of concessions. Do the Mets get a cut of each shake? Is it a rental deal for the real estate? Anyway, I wonder what happens if people spend either differently or less.
A change of pace today….Carol has 5 boys…and Ron Darling signed her jersey.
14 is retired, so it’s definitely not the plan. Â I do keep staring at that 6 though.
More “generic content” because I’m busy with Real Job, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t good.
NJ Baseball found an old magazine article in which the “already legendary” Bobby Bonilla pledged $500 per RBI. Â Check out NJ Baseball for a photo of the actual article.
I think the use of legend here is not in the “Babe Ruth” way but more in terms of something fictional – like the Loch Ness Monster, or the guy with the hook that is at every summer camp, or perhaps the legend that the Mets are paying Bonilla $1 million a year from 2011-2035. Â Oh wait, that one is true! (Now let me show you my claw.)
Does anyone else feel like booing? Â Too bad the Mets will never have Negative Old Timer’s Day. Â I’d love to boo Bobby, Vince Coleman and some others.
Next up, a cool Keith Hernandez article I found from 1999. Â See ya in an hour.
