Sticking with your team
My terrific daughter Elisabeth immediately knew what she had to get me for my new car. It looks good, I think. My allegiance to my squad, right on and ride on.
The big noise was coming from the bats and then the storm
A good way to start our Memorial Day Weekend, we figured, was a trip with Elisabeth and George Three for some good, old-fashioned baseball. And so my dear wife Karen and I piled into George’s car, Elisabeth at the wheel, for Saturday night’s Triple-A game between our Syracuse Mets and the Yankees’ top minor-league squad…
All’s good with baseball back
I was thrilled with the seats we landed by going to the Syracuse Mets open house and standing on the short line the first day tickets went on sale. The third-base line location five rows up Thursday afternoon allowed me to use my iPhone 8 to catch perfect baseball symmetry for the home squad at…
Opening Day brings everything but a Syracuse Mets win
Our family excursion to see the first-ever Syracuse Mets game brought a traffic jam. By the time we wound through the streets and into the satellite lot, it was perilously close to the Thursday afternoon start time of 2 o’clock. Yet still there were deep lines for the gate security check. We still made it…
When last we looked in on the Syracuse Mets …
The Syracuse Mets open house at NBT Bank Stadium was one month, two days ago. Today is opening day. Our Triple A squad is scheduled to play the Pawtucket Red Sox. Yet this is what our backyard looked like on Monday a mere few miles from the stadium. Good luck, grounds crew. I will be…
Yes, we will go visit the Syracuse Mets’ open house, thank you
The new old baseball team in town opened the doors to the stadium Saturday. Thank you, Syracuse Mets. Today marks one month until opening day for the first year moving to the Triple-A squad of my favorite team. The uniforms are planned out, as the placard in the locker room showed us during the very…
Baseball, please
As we turn the calendar to February, I say: Baseball, please. Spring training will be starting soon. And, yes, that is a new Syracuse Mets hat on top of my head.
Syracuse Mets, I’m ready for the games
My dear wife Karen asked what I’d like for Christmas. I like the new Syracuse Mets hats, I said. Why wait, she figured. I did have a birthday this month, after all. Now when the season starts come April, I’ll be ready to take my seat in the stadium.
Let’s Go Syracuse Mets
I must admit this is the first time I’ve ever heard of a professional baseball team holding a garage sale. So I agree to meet my terrific daughter Elisabeth and her sensational significant George Three at NBT Bank Stadium to see what the former Syracuse Chiefs had on the market as they make the change…
Cheering the Chiefs with the kids
When Elisabeth asks if I want to go see the Syracuse Chiefs, it’s easy to decide. No plans. Yes, my terrific daughter, I will join you and George Three the night before Father’s Day at the old ballyard. I noticed in the parking lot that George had cool decorations for his new desk at work…
