2010

[Guest Edgy DC]

Uniform question: What number will the Mets batboys wear in 2010?

And I guess I need to be reminded what they did in 1999 to distinguish them from Turk Wendell.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

In 1999 the batboys wore 00, because Turk refused to yield his number to a batboy.

I guess in 2010 they'll either wear 10, if it's available, or maybe the long tradition will have to come to an end. Certainly they'll have to do something different in 2014.

Didn't batboys formerly wear a BB where the uniform number would have been?

I hope Charlie Samuels is working on this monstrously huge issue now, instead of coming up with some slap-dash solution during spring 2010.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

You're right. This is like an equipment manager's version of Y2K.

Pat Zachry what I was thinking.

A simple BAT BOY in the name box with no numeral is my choice. If I recall, first names have been used in the past like JOEY.
