that'd be nice. I know they did record _some_ stuff but I don't know who or what they did. I know mine wasn't. I've got my written stuff up but that's not the same.

I'm trying to repost the photo from JCL, but now I can't seem to get it; the page comes up blank.

Also bumped into, at the Friday night cocktail reception: Mr. & Mrs. Swan Swan H. (Unless I'm confusing his real name with his screen name, but I don't think I am.)

Who doesn't want to meet the Mets?

Or have his lunchtime session interrupted by Mr. Met?

I snapped the photo below at a presentation on Mets uniforms, conducted by Michael Cesarano, who created this web page on the UMDB, about Mets uniform history. Cesarano is displaying a Mets prototype uniform, never worn, presumably from the mid -80's based on the racing stripes (Cesarano never dated the uni), and very similar to Expos then contemporary garb.

Sorry I missed his show, he knows a lot about unit and is a swell guy irl.

I put up my paper and powerpoint here.

Great stuff. Here's a money quote on Grant if ever I saw one.

His reputation at Fahenstock, one co-worker told the New York Times, was for austerity and trust. �He runs a tight ship at Fahenstock. He keeps his costs down. He�s been smart this way. He gets the most he can out of his old equipment, and he pays the young guys the least he can get away with.�

I hope you got some laughs on that one.

M. Donald and Alice Waters Grant were married 66 years.

The Faith and Fear blog has been so active lately, that Greg's comprehensive review of the Hofstra 50th might've been overlooked -- buried in the celebration of the Valdespin Mets.
