I don't know the whole history of Mettle off the top of my head, but I would absolutely buy a plush Mettle.

Honor the history, Jeff!

You need to remember Mettle to show that as bad as it is, it's a lot better than it was!

Mine's Sulky. But then, it is wintry out.

[Guest Kong76]

Weren't the Metropolitans almost named The Burros?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yes, that was one of the proposed names.

Getting meadowlarks or planes to pull a seatcart around the infield might have proved trickier.

Mettle just prowled left & third dirt areas and would be kept in the bullpen

The Driver..a member of the groundscrew
