I wonder if they recut that commercial for every market.



That's not what this says. Go, Golden Eagles!



!!! ... GO, CARP!!

[Methead]

You guys have probably seen this before, but I saw this LP at my local record store the other day and had to have it.

That LP was hugely influential in my young fandom. About a decade ago Soupcan found a CD rerelease and made a copy he sent to me.



Today you can stream it I think

I wondered the same thing but don't see any others on their YouTube page.

Grey's Anatomy last night. the new(ish?) bone doctor was on a consult in NY talking to the other doctor



It was part of my wish.

You wished for perfect pizza? From a fairy godmother? Cancer kids who are in as bad a shape as I was get wishes.

Osteosarcoma.

Age 10.

Full remission.

What'd you wish for? - Baseball game at Shea Stadium.

- Yeah.

I got to meet my favorite player, Dwight Gooden.

I remember thinking, "I'll be back.

" And the next time was with the Mariners as the team doctor.

That is impressive.

Nothing will beat that first time out here.

Actor (Chris Carmack) was born in 1980, so guess the timeline kinda checks out (the actual Grey's timeline is probably a disaster) though a search says he's never tweeted about the Mets himself and he's from WAshington/Maryland



He's watching a game on a tablet on the plane ride back before a conversation, we get this in the transcript. (It's not someone we know announcing it)



"the bat.

Fires.

Slaps it to right.

That one's gonna split the gap and head all the way to the wall! One run is in.

Here comes Beasley around third, but cut off by Montanari, and he's, of course, standing up"

[A Boy Named Seo]

That record is great. A few copies on eBay. Looks like interviews and game clips?

I'm getting this second hand: in Avengers Endgame, there is a shot of CitiField and one of the characters says "I miss the Mets".

Yep. Right at the beginning.

”What's the score?” "Mets are down by two." “What else is new?”

Yeah, I never once laughed at those insufferable selfie videos. I mean, kudos to the enthusiasm but keep in your pants, man.

CBS Sunday Morning just showed a story on the discovery of the Clotilda, the last slave ship, which has been found.



One of the people interviewed was Cleon Jones. I heard the name and saw he was wearing a Mets cap, and the anchor confirmed it was him.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, much of the population of Jones' Africatown, outside of Mobile, are descendants of the illegal cargo of The Clotida. This was 52 years after the banning of slavery imports.



Depending on how you define things, though, it probably wasn't the last ship smuggling slaves into the US, though it appears to have been the last of the Atlantic slave ships from Africa.



With regard to Jim Brewer, apart from the things he exaggerates/embellishes, he somehow gets two key facts wrong in his summary of events.

On the May 27, 1972, edition of American Top 40, heard on great radio stations like SiriusXM 7 this weekend, Casey Kasem introduced the No. 22 song, "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard" by Paul Simon with a geography lesson regarding the location of Corona. Casey told his listeners then and now that Corona is near Shea Stadium, "home of the New York Mets, who play some pretty tough baseball." It will be noted that when this particular AT40 was recorded, the Mets were comfortably in first place, riding an eleven-game winning streak.



Pretty tough, indeed. Just like the Queen of Corona.

[Edgy MD]

I was listening to that yesterday in the car, but an UNNAMED PERSON was talking over Casey's intro.

In the movie "Yesterday", during the blackout which leads to the events of the movie we see CitiField and then a Brewers batter.

Not sure if this has been covered, but in the new Spider-Man movie, Peter Parker has a Mike Piazza pennant in his room!
