Those darn cats
Did you see that play?! Terrific daughter Elisabeth and George were watching the Mets game the other night .. … and so, apparently were loveable kitties Izzy and Vinny. Best cat fans, ever.
A bobble head for the kid
Looks like him! Terrific daughter Elisabeth admitted a case of FOMO when the rest of the family declared we’d decided not to attend the Syracuse Mets game that included a Mark Vientos bobblehead giveaway with admission to the first 1,000 ticket holders. Too hot lately. Rain in the forecast. That morning before the gates opened,…
Let’s Go Mets!
Batter up! Great seats, I told George Three countless times as we watched the New York Mets take on the visiting Tamp Bay Rays. Our third-base side tickets provided a great view of the field. I was smiling watching the Mets Mets, as I call them to differentiate from our hometown Triple-A squad Syracuse Mets.…
Hurry up and wait
The Little Apple. The New York Mets organization does a lot of things right at Citi Field. You have to wait in line to pose for a photo with the little home run apple, a replica of what rises beyond the center field fence every time a hometown player hits one over the fence. We…
Looking forward to a good season
A lot to look forward to in 2025. Syracuse Mets general manager Jason Smorol is the perfect choice to get fans ready for a new season. He can stoke optimism for the players the parent New York Mets will fill Triple A roster with from April through September. This past weekend, he mentioned a prospect…
Mets on my mind
Even delayed on the MLB Network … I’ve watched my New York Mets a handful of times already this spring. Every time they’ve been on. It’s soothing to see the green grass of spring training games on our living room big screen as we get through a typical Central New York early March of cold.…
OMG quite the season for our Mets
Root root root. Terrific daughter Elisabeth texted that I had to come over to pick up a gift that couldn’t wait until my birthday. She was so right that the OMG T-shirt was perfect for this stretch of New York Mets playoff baseball. Dear wife Karen was so enthusiastic at first sight that I immediately…
City connecting, indeed
Wearing it proudly. Our visit to the Thousand Islands village of Clayton was the perfect opportunity for me to show off my Father’s Day gift from terrific daughter Elisabeth. She knew I’ve been admiring the design and colors of the New York Mets’ version of Major League Baseball’s City Connect uniform series. I wore it…
Go to Truist Park early
New spaces and places. As we drove from KP and Sue’s lovely house in Fayetteville, Ga., toward the afternoon baseball game between my New York Mets and home team Atlanta Braves, my since-the-early 80s friend provided me a history about the ballpark we were approaching. The Braves organization in this century decided to leave the…
One heck of a road game
Georgia on my mind. My dear wife Karen used her card points to buy me plane tickets to visit my great friend KP and his fantastic wife Sue in their near-Atlanta home. I’ve been talking about that trip south in a spring month since, well, pretty much soon after they moved from Central New York…
