Tom Seaver Says New York Yankees Making Joba Chamberlain Fear Innings

Great stuff from The Franchise who knows a thing or two…If you like pitching or Seaver click here.

“Gil would come out to the mound in a tough spot and say, ‘you’re throwing great and I’m not coming back out here to get you, You do whatever it takes,'” Seaver said. “You know what that meant? It meant that eight other guys were on that field counting on you. They were in the same foxhole with you.
“The day I won my 300th game (pitching for the White Sox against the Yankees on Aug. 4, 1985) Dave Duncan came out to the mound,” Seaver said. “(Tony) La Russa had been ejected in the fifth or sixth, so it’s (pitching coach) Duncan who says to me, ‘if you think I’m taking you out in front of 60,000 people at Yankee Stadium, you’re out of your mind.'”
Seaver said, “I ended up throwing 148 pitches that day.”

Shopping At The New York Mets Team Store (Part 6)

I get a kick out of walking through the shops at Citi Field.  I’m always looking for something cool to add to my collection – plus I have a blog, and snapping photos gives me tons of content.

So on the previous homestand I took another trip to the main store in the rotunda.
Up front were the Players Choice jerseys.


As Mets Police readers know, I don’t like black jerseys…but if they must have black attire they might want to consider the white lettering.

Sigh.   I wonder if they sell Colts attire at the Ravens store.  A friend in DC told me that Ravens fans hate the Colts stuff at Ravens stadium as much as we hate the Dodgers stuff.  “Enough with Unitas.”

These signs would look nice in my yard.   That’s for the Mets Police guys invited to my upcoming party.

More from the store all week.

I’ll be at the game tonight.   tweet me if you’re going to be there @metspolice

Parts 1-5 of our visit to the team store can be found here.
