Inside Old Timers Day

[Edgy MD]

Kevin Elster should be starring in biker movies.

[Fman99]

I napped and didn't miss any game play apparently.

[Edgy MD]

Ray Knight looks like he's going to cry.

SAY FREAKING HEY!

[Fman99]

Wow, that's awesome.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Jane Jarvis playing the National Anthem!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Bobby Valentine with the grease paint mustache...



And geez... John Stearns.

[G-Fafif]

I'm in heaven and Promenade, respectively.

Honoring Willie Mays for all his time in New York is magnificent. Well done, Mets!!!



Cano tarnished the number. Will never happen again!



Cohen is just full of surprises!

Only thing missing is a Tsuyoshi Shinjo factor.

[Edgy MD]

Doc's pants are having a rough time of it.

[Benjamin Grimm]

They're wearing adjustable caps.



Gooden on the mound and Piazza behind the plate.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, adjustable caps are an odd choice.

[Edgy MD]

Bartolo using the whole park.

[Edgy MD]

Cliff Floyd wearing a hat cam.

[Edgy MD]

Leiter getting nothing over the plate.



Bring Back Bart!!

[Edgy MD]

Zeile coming in to catch for Thole?

[Edgy MD]

Holy shit! Steve Dillon in the game!

[Edgy MD]

"Crazy Train" on the organ.

[Edgy MD]

Wagner's got the most arm left so far.

[Edgy MD]

Mookie hauling in the longest drive of the day, about 300-310 off of Agbayani's bat.

[Edgy MD]

Leach still bringing it from three o'clock.

[Edgy MD]

There it is. I think there was one infield out in the whole game.



Funny that Old Timers Day is more old-timey than most of the players are.

Forget Bartolo, get him to be an arm in the pen!

Two, if you count an infield fly.



I liked that some players were taking it real seriously. Mookie took an extra base on a ball in the gap. Teufel make sure to tag up on an outfield fly. Tons of fun.

How about inside the Old Timers themselves:

- dentures

- titanium joints

- heart stents

- kidney stones

- gout

- penis pumps

- hearing aids

Willie diversifies the retired numbers a bit, too.

[Benjamin Grimm]

A few players whose absences I noticed, in addition to David Wright. I don't know which players were invited and declined (for whatever reason) and which weren't. I'm sure one of them was likely unwelcome.



Koosman, Grote, Boswell, Dyer, Garrett, Ryan, Gentry, Ron Hodges, Swan, Zachry, Kingman, Foster, Dykstra, Davey Johnson, Viola, Bonilla, Beltran, Delgado, Glavine, Santana, Dickey.
