The Mets Police

As I talk to adult males in their 20's who don't remember the Mets winning a World Series, I realize these darn kids don't know a thing about anything before Bobby Valentine managed the team

Snopes tells the story of the first cat far better than I can...

The talented 1969 Chicago Cubs team built a large lead over the rest of the National League (East) by August - over 10 games at one point - but went into a tailspin in the final month of the season. In September, the Cubs' slide began while playing the Mets in Shea Stadium in New York. Early in one of the games, a black cat ran onto the field ... and went right over in front of the Cubs dugout where he stared manager Leo Durocher right in the face.

The Cubs lost that night, and the downfall had begun ...



And that kids, is why it was really really cool that an orange(ish) (color of the Mets) cat showed up on Monday night.

OK so he didn't use those words exactly. Here is what Ron Santo said yesterday after not being selected by the Veterans Committee:

''It's a travesty,'' Santo said, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. ''When I saw nobody got in again, I go, 'Whoa, this is wrong.' They can't keep going the way they're going. They've got to put a [different] committee out there. It'll be eight years now that they've voted and not let anybody in."

So according to Mr. Santo, the Veterans Committee should always be putting people in. Quantity over quality.

Does Santo realized who makes up the current committee? It's all the living Hall of Famers! So he just insulted the very group that he wants to belong to!

Hey Ron, nowhere does it say that the Hall of Fame has to put anyone in if they don't think they were qualified. And clearly the BBWAA and the current Hall of Fame members do not think you are qualified.
