The Mets Police

Made it to the 14th inning and passed out - gimme a break. Went to the HR Derby the night before - I have a job and am old so sue me.

Lot of chatter about the game today around the water cooler - I guess that is mission accomplished for MLB.

Comments:

Willie Mays - why so angry Say Hey?? Are you bitter the Giants left NY and only 3% of the people in the stands realized you are one of the top 5 players of all time?

Is it a Barry thing?? He is the godfather of the guy, maybe he is carrying a grudge.

Willie McCovey - sad to see 'Stretch' in that state. He's only 70. Loved that he pulled himself up for the introductions. Mind over matter Willie. Thanks for the effort coming out to NY for the event, it was appreciated by anyone who loves baseball. That guy must have made pitchers crap the bed, friggin guy was a monster in a day when hitting wasn't the joke it is today.

Ralph Kiner!! It was great seeing him out there in left field. Ralph to Met fans is beloved, glad to have him with us. Still love to hear him on the air. The guy knows the game and can still whip off a quick story between pitches.

Robin Roberts - still alive! I thought he was dead to tell you the truth. 286 wins! Look up his innings pitched and your shoulder will actually ache.

Missing guys! Bench, Seaver, Morgan, Koufax. Heard Joe Morgan was at the parade in midtown yesterday afternoon. Joe, take the D train at 47-50th and you're there in a half-hour.

Loved seeing Hank Aaron and Frank Robinson together - I think Frank Robinson is the most underrated player of all time. That he wasn't on that All Century team in 1999 confirmed that the whole thing was a joke. Pete Rose makes it and Frank doesn't ?? We won't even get into Tom Seaver not making it.

I will take 586 home runs over Pete's Punch and Judy business every day. Interesting contrast - Frank Robinson retires 14 short of 600 HR's so he can manage - Pete Rose manages and plays himself just so he can get the all-time hits record. Frank recognized he was past his prime - Pete didn't and played for the record. The only team that would have run Pete Rose and his 3HR, 42rbi averages from 1982-1985 would be a team managed by Pete Rose.

Billy Wagner - any Met fan who isn't on the Kool Aid knows this guy will give it up in a game that counts - so why not in a game that technically doesnt count in the standings?? Way to make us look good Billy Boy.
