Minor item

[soupcan]

According to my wife, this guy was in my house fixing my AC today.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'm sure she recognized him immediately!

[soupcan]

Well no, but he noticed the various Metly items lying around and told her that he played minor league ball for the Mets.

His partner, she said, was very obviously stoned.

Grant Roberts maybe...?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

How did she say his bat looked?

[soupcan]

See, now I'm kicking myself for not making the crack I wanted too about you hitchhiking to Albany.

[Guest AG/DC]

Those seem like good enough numbers that it's surprising he only played one year.

At last, we know who HVAC Guy at Shea is.

[metirish]

A first round pick to boot.

[soupcan]

Where'd you find that?

[Guest AG/DC]

He moved on the another organziation that same season, played 18 games and was finished. I'm trying to sss out if he was traded by the Mets or released:

Looks like he was a sandwich pick by the Jays as part of the compensation for losing Roberto Alomar to the Orioles.

A minor leaguer, maybe, but them's some major-league eyebrows.



That card can be yours for a mere 4.99.

Why would you want the A/C fixed today? It was 40 degress

[soupcan]

Because it ain't gonna be 40 degrees for too much longer...

[Guest cooby]

Yes, I guess so
