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.

Jerry Cram's parents should have named him "Marc".

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

Wow. Severing that tradition may have been one of the first marks of the Doublepon Administration.
