I stumbled across a random article about a Mets fans thinking back to meeting his favorite players in the late 70s.  I think the years have muddled some memories, I don’t see how the three players mentioned below would have been in the locker together…but it’s still neat.

Imagine, if you will, the ultimate fan experience: sitting in the dugout of his team and meeting some of his heroes, a big thrill for a young fan or for that matter, any age fan. Lee Mazzilli, Lenny Randle and Ron Darling drifted in and out of the dugout while the team took batting practice. Craig Swan continued the tour through the locker room and the trainer’s room with its training tables, individual hot tubs and exercise equipment, and in this rarefied air was the pungent odor of liniment. Those players, whose playing careers are now but memories, were just great, peppering my son with questions about his hitting, what position he played and laughing and joking — for, after all, they were just grown-up boys themselves.

Read the entire piece here.

Also from the Lee Mazzilli google alert….Lee suggested the Orioles be in the NL East.   Interesting.   Not worth debating mid-season but a nice January topic.

As you know, tomorrow is Saturday.  I know this because I bought the Saturday plan from the New York Mets, and they treat their fans with respect by not including every Saturday, but including this random Tuesday.

I tried to get just $10 back on Stubhub, but nobody nibbled.  In fact you might want to buy some cheap ones on Stubhub yourself, since it seems a lot of us Saturday owners are not able to go.  (I have something else to do, I play in a sports league on Tuesdays.  That’s why I didn’t get a “Tuesday” plan.  See how that works Fred?)

This is just one of the many little things the franchise gets wrong.  All they have to do is call the mostly-Saturday plan the “Hodges Plan” or “Plan D” and I don’t write this.  Instead they called it the Saturday plan.  (You guys should pay me $100 a year and just run stuff by me.)

Yesterday in Flushing, the New York Mets and their three month old noise polluted stadium drew 38,791 .  Meanwhile in Chicago, also a two team city, the fan-friendly (and expensive ticketed) Cubs who haven’t won in 100 years and play in a 95 year old stadium with no video scoreboards nor noise pollution drew 40,886.

Citi Field will draw crowds of 23,000 next year if this team continues to not understand the fanbase and doesn’t at least appear in the World Series.  A loss in the NLCS isn’t going to cut it, and right now this team doesn’t even look Wild Card worthy.

DJ who sent over the Caesar’s Club pics from the other day sent these over.

I understand that there has to be a railing of some sort – but you would think that Row 1 in club level seats wouldn’t require you to lean forward the entire game.
