Last night the New York Mets began a three game series against the Nationals here in Washington. So last evening after work, I changed into my Mets jersey , hopped on the Metro, and headed down to the ballpark (by myself). I went to a Mets game at Nats Park earlier this year and had [...]

Right now, the Empire State Building is lit up in orange and blue in honor of the New York Mets winning the subway series over the Yankees. I wish I could see this beautiful sight myself.

I just heard a horrible commercial on the radio. The spot was for Cedarwood Country Club and was completely focused on their golf course. Their copy (the script) was compelling enough but their music was just a ridiculous choice. To sell golf, they chose one of the most recognized songs in baseball. Huh? After Take [...]

On September 6th, 1981 I attended my first Mets game at Shea Stadium. As you can see, I saved my tickets for 27 years. I don’t actually remember the game but the Braves beat the Mets five to two that day. I went to Shea Stadium several times a year from 1981-1990, including Game 3 [...]

* Tuesday was the MLB All-Star Game. I stayed up late and watched all 15 innings. Unfortunately the junior circuit won again (the NL’s last win was in 1996) but that was an amazing game with four extra-inning outs at the plate and the game winner was a split-second play too. * Maegan just completed [...]

During spring training I tried to sign up for Major League Baseball’s Gameday Audio so I can listen to Mets games on WFAN through the internet. I ran in to a brick wall when I refused to give them my telephone number. (MLB has a reputation for taking liberties with your privacy. They claim it’s [...]
