Edgy MD Site Manager Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Through 1979, the Mets regularly (annually?) made a trip to West Point for an exhibition against the US Military Academy. In 1979, Abe Zapruder (or a student of the Zapruder film-making school) was there.It's all edited into a mess, but there's some steamy Jerry Cram action, and what looks like a Kranepool homer.[youtube:27zxhzkn]IWGeYizQlak[/youtube:27zxhzkn]
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Jerry Cram's parents should have named him "Marc".
Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket Guests Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 A guy at the NYC sabr meeting a few years ago did a whole presentation on the annual West Point games, it was a tradition going way back as you might imagine, and not just the Mets but MFYs Dodgers, Giants etc
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted November 8, 2011 Author Posted November 8, 2011 Wow. Severing that tradition may have been one of the first marks of the Doublepon Administration.
