Since we're posting Bobby V photos, here he is with another Stamford boy at Camden Yards in 1997.

Oops. The two lines weren't meant to be together. The request was unrelated to the observation.

I doubt we have many pictures amongst us of Bobby in his playing days as a Met,
so I may as well post this along with his manager pics.
This is from that same Fan Photo book as Youngblood, Edgy.
Tell me Bobby dont look stoned here.

Does anyone know if these are set up in the right order?

[DocTee]

wow. great shots. as to their "order": when Bobby's getting the herave-ho you can see the umpire's glass falling from his head... in the "later" shot, they are in his hands, FWIW

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

You did SK and that is a great pic lubitul, worth seeing twice

Thats what made me change the original order i had em in.
The damn sunglasses.

The way I 1st had it made it look like he tossed BobbyV and then pushed him to keep him from steppin on the sunglasses,lol.


I figure they went from his hat, to the floor, to his hand.
But i dont see em at all in the last pic.

I saw this actually happen on TV, and all I remember is that I didnt think Bobby was going too far and needed a push back from the ump. But maybe he had something with garlic in it for lunch.
I dunno.

[Zvon]

Mr Valentine, you had a good run.
Im kinda surprised more didnt contribute to BobbyVs week.
Thank you to those who did.

In any case, who will be our next Met pic of the week?

[Guest cooby]

Mookie or Keif!

[metirish]

With Mookie leaving the organization we should honour him...
