I AM A METS FAN AND I AM DAMN PROUD OF IT

• Sat, Nov 7
By kranepool I’ve been fortunate enough to see the Mets win two Championships, maybe it’s just experience as I thought after the each one, the World Series trophies would come in droves. Well I learned they don’t. I thought Gil Hodges would the Mets manager forever. He wasn’t. Of course Tom Seaver “The Fran...

By Mets Guy in Michigan(noreply@blogger.com) Then I learned that Schmitt is co-owner of the Madison Mallards, and independent league baseball team. The team’s site reveals that he is a huge Cardinals fan. Hey, I get it. If I owned a store, the chances are there would be Mets logos all over and posters of Tom Seaver adorning the walls.

By metswalkoffs(noreply@blogger.com) On August 11, they fell 1-0 in 12 innings to the Padres, spoiling a great effort by Tom Seaver when catcher Jerry Grote made an errant throw to third trying to nail Larry Stahl, who was completing a double steal. Stahl would score the winning run.

By metswalkoffs(noreply@blogger.com) Mets starter Jonathon Niese pitched 1 2/3 innings, and the Mets won, 9-0. Nelson Figueroa is the second pitcher in Mets history to draw a triple and a walk in the same game. The other did it twice (1970 and 1983): Tom Seaver. The Mets...these ragtag Mets, somehow beat the Cardinals by a 9-0 score.

By metswalkoffs(noreply@blogger.com) Rickey Henderson's longevity was such that he faced both Tom Seaver and Johan Santana. Tom Seaver: 4-for-19, 2 RBI, 3 K Johan Santana: 2-for-6, 3 RBI, 2 K This was the day in which Seaver won his 300th game, a complete-game six-hitter in a 4-1 victory at Yankee Stadium.

By kranepool It will be great to see Tom Seaver and Nolan Ryan at the 1969 World Championship celebration but the best reunion will be of Nancy Seaver and Ruth Ryan By the way why is Tony B the “high ranking official” on this road trip? Where is Omar? Getting his nursing degree?

1969 Was Good For The Other Guys Too

• Wed, Jun 17
By metswalkoffs(noreply@blogger.com) One of those victories came on a date quite familiar to Mets fans- July 9, 1969. While Tom Seaver was threatening perfection against the Cubs at Shea, the Orioles were finishing a sweep of the Yankees in rather imperfect fashion. Neither managed a walk-off win against the 1969 Mets.

The year was 1977, and Grant was M. Donald Grant, the Wall Street stockbroker who was Chairman of the Board of the Mets. Though my banner made its debut prior to the trade, the Mets, and Grant, had traded the Franchise, Tom Seaver, and plunged the team and all of its fans into despair.

I would like to think that even those of you who are much younger than I would be interested in seeing some of those great Mets players of the past honored on a yearly basis. Tom Seaver, Jerry Koosman, Cleon Jones, Jerry Grote and Bud Harrelson are probably familiar to Mets fans that weren't ev...
