Great find!

Did the team have a hostile divorce with Al Jackson?

Seven years later and we could have had a shot of Chuck Taylor wearing Chuck Taylors. Great stuff.

Is that Joe Torre? And if it is, when did he stop being African-American?

A designer from Boston named M. Willis has been running a series on his blog called "Soccer Out of Context" where he's redesigning Major League Baseball uniforms with soccer aesthetics. It's been a fun series as far as reading his design choices. Today he published the last entry which covers the teams of the NL East, which includes some nice stories about Shea Stadium.

If it's going to be a true soccer 'kit' for the Mets wouldn't it say AMWAY on it somewhere?

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

I like how the World Series titles are represented by two little apples.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yes, he did a nice job with this series.

Crazy how people who really care about stuff like uniforms have so little to do with them.

I love those jerseys .....cool story on his Shea adventures .


These can't be bought right?

[Benjamin Grimm]

The lettering on the back needs more orange, I'd say. It looks too much like those low-rent replica jerseys that don't get the lettering right.

He says he's looking into licensing opportunities.

Tommy John, it turns out, places 3rd among MLB pitchers with wins after having Tommy John surgery.
John tacked on 164 post-surgery wins to go with his 124 pre-surgery victories. David Wells (239) and Kenny Rogers (219) are the ones with more post-operation victories.

Jason Isringhausen leads all pitchers with 300 post-TJS saves (IOW - all of his). As a pre-surgery starter Jason had 17 big league wins prior and then 34 afterward.
Eric Gagne (187) and Brian Wilson (171) are the closest to him in the post-operation saves race although aren't really that close.

[Edgy MD]

John, Wells, and Rogers --- all lefties.

This is much more impressive than when Dustin Pedroia tweeted a picture of his red sock.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Definitely cooler than John Rocker holding a kitten.

[Edgy MD]

Howie Kendrick holding an angel would really impress me.

Wow, it's like a 1980s skateboard video. Is it available on betamax?

Crikey!

During last night�s Rays-Orioles game, Tampa Bay mascot �Raymond the Ray� held up a sign titled �Rays To Do List.� The two items on the list included Steve Irwin, with a line slashed through it, and World Series

That's good, but Number 2 on the list should read "New Stadium".
