I noticed it, plus all No Name...of course (tm Michael Kay)

I wonder why that was done? No generic Minor Leaguer hand-me-downs available?

Gotta love Retrosheet. In the 2 seconds of game footage leading to that commercial, you can identify the exact game (4-2 Met win, complete game for Gooden). Carter had just struck out:

Raffy Palmeiro, hitting number two of his 569 career homers.

D'oh, that's the division clincher.

How'd you do that? Did you search on the runs and hits through 7? (or whatever inning it was)

Or did you look at all the Cub games that year?

Not that you care, but Mets.com says this catch won TWIB's play of the year award.

I knew Sutcliffe the Cub and Carter the Met only overlapped for a few seasons, so I looked up Sutcliffe, clicked on daily pitching log from 85, looked for �at NY,� and looked for games he left in the 5th inning. No dice, so I went to 86, found one example, and the fact that Guy Huffman relieved him confirmed it.

11- run inning against the Cubs. A Grand Slam!

[Willets Point]

I think we have multiple threads like this running, but, bump.

[Guest Edgy DC]

We've got to get merge capabilities, Captain.

Amazing.

Clemens looks like a kid. A jerkface kid.

Carter already had his shinguards and chest protector back on.

I never think of it from Mrs. Yawkey's angle.

Who was on deck for the Mets? In the replay of Mookie's grounder from behind Buckner you can see him flip his bat way in the air and jump for joy.
