Vote for how Terence customizes his Mets jersey

Remember last week Terence (second mention today for Terence) said he’d let the class pick how he would customize his jersey? Here’s an update:

Shannon,

So far the leaders in the club house are Pelfrey, Pagan and Feliciano, with 3 “votes” each. Honorable mention, as of now, is Shea ’08, which doesn’t follow my rules but what’re you gonna do. We Mets fans can have a short attention span and the memory of an Elephant at the same time. I’d like to get some more feedback or if you just wanna leave it down to those 3 and let everyone choose, it’s cool with me too!

Terence M.K.

Ok kids, let’s vote…I vote for Pelfrey.   There’s a voting widget on the main page.

The mysterious Mets lighter without dropshadow

There are days where I wonder what this blog is even about…but apparently you guys understand it, as evidenced by Terence sending this in:

Picked this up at a Duane Reade in Yonkers last week and noticed it’s SANS BLACK DROPSHADOW! But, interestingly the MLB license mark reads “2009”!

There is another!

It had never occurred to me before:  maybe I can’t have Lee Mazzill back but what if there were another!

LJ Mazzilli is playing for the Wareham Gateman in the Cape Cod League.

Although he was only hitting .120 in his first 25 at-bats, I will be watching Young Mazzilli’s career with great interest.

Winner of Mets ‘All Star Among Us’ announced

METS, MLB, PEOPLE MAGAZINE ANNOUNCE WINNER OF
COMMUNITY ALL-STAR CAMPAIGN

Marguerite Baber to be Honored at the 2010 All-Star Game on FOX and
Featured in Special Pre-Game Ceremony July 13 at Angels Stadium

FLUSHING, N.Y., June 28, 2010 – The New York Mets, Major League Baseball and PEOPLE Magazine today announced Marguerite Baber as the Mets winner of the “All-Stars Among Us” campaign that recognizes individuals who are serving their communities in extraordinary ways.

Out of the three “All-Star” finalists representing the Mets, Baber of Bayonne, N.J., was chosen by fans across the nation for her community service through The Simpson-Baber Foundation, which has raised more than $1.5 million to support educational, social and recreational opportunities for the autism community.

Baber, 50, created two organizations to support the autism community, motivated by her own experience as the parent of an autistic child. She started the Simpson-Baber Foundation (http://simpson-baber.org/) in 1995, and in 2002 began the Busy Bee Program, an early intervention initiative that helps autistic children maximize their developmental and educational potential.

Baber and the other 29 “All-Stars Among Us,” one representing each MLB Club, will attend and be honored during the pre-game ceremony of the 81st Major League Baseball All-Star Game on July 13 on FOX beginning at 5:00 p.m. PT (8:00 p.m. ET).

Born Behind Enemy Lines

I have an uphill battle ahead of me.

A few weeks ago my daughter was born in a Philadelphia-area hospital.  Phillies logos and paraphernalia were all over the place – there was even a Phillies banner hanging behind the nurse’s station in the maternity ward.

She will be a Mets fan

Of course I had to outfit her in Mets gear as soon as possible (even if a bit big for her).

But seriously, I know I’m not the first Dad to go through this.  It’s going to take a lot of effort (and some guilt perhaps?) to make sure she doesn’t grow up rooting for the red & white, but comes to love the blue & orange.

Any other Dad’s out there facing the same thing?  How have you dealt with it?
