What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
Former New York Met Chuck Carr has reportedly passed away at age 55 (cancer).
In my mind I felt like Carr played a larger role with the Mets, but I am looking at his stats and he only played in 16 games for the Mets in 1990-91.
The Mets traded him away for minor leaguer Clyde Keller. Carr later got a shot when the NL Expanded and he got playing time for the expansion Marlins, and let the league in Stolen Bases back when SB were a thing and baseball was watchable.
The $50 New York Mets Velvet Blue 59FIFTY Fitted Cap features an allover velvet fabrication with an embroidered Mets logo at the front panels, the official MLB Batterman logo at the rear, and a green satin undervisor.
What’s interesting to me is the blue squatcho. Also, off-season filler!
Yuck! Many of these “Just Caps” don’t come in Mets, but of course this monstrosity does.
The New York Post is catching up on the story about the RF fence being moved in. This is believed to be part of project Speakeasy Club which I told you about in the summer.
I will save you the click and let you know they are brining in the feet about 8 feet.
Now for those of you unfamiliar with the term Speakeasy, that is a term for a club operated by someone working outside the boundaries of the law in the 20’s. The 1920s that is. During Prohibition, the manufacture, sale and transport of alcohol was illegal in the United States, yet some folks still decided to operate clubs, called Speakeasies.
One of the notorious names of the 1920s was Al Capone who amassed a vast personal fortune doing shady activities, often in Speakeasies. Capone eventually went to jail for tax evasion.
Anyway, it sounds like the new club(s) will be a great addition for Mets fans who want to attend the game in style!
Good morning. I’m outside Modell’s watching Media Goon wait in line to get a Tayler Saucedo jersey.
Who is Tayler Saucedo? I don’t know, but if the man who gave Matt Harvey $11,000,000 to pitch for Anaheim says this is a good deal then it’s a good deal!
