Mets2013: Photoshops; Tributes; Funnies: post em here.

[Zvon]

Non-Jeffshops, of course. Anything that involves an image that you're not sure where to post can go here as well as photoshops, Met tributes, funny stuff (pictures to caption would be nice), and whatever else you feel would fit here. It does not have to be about the Mets if its worth seeing and sharing. Try to keep it baseball though.

My first one is a tribute to The Whitestone Wonders classic no hit saving catch.

Awesome!

[Zvon]

Thank you TMF. We'd love it if you honored the thread with anything you want to share from your adventures in photography.

[Zvon]

Turner doing one of those things he does well.

[Zvon]

No idea when I made this one. Not recently, I know that. I might have posted this already but I don't recall (you guys already know I have a brain like a sieve). When Wright makes a play with his tongue out, I'm always worried about this happening.

Thank you Zvon

This is a crazy busy week, but perhaps when things calm down I'll come up with something worthy enough!

Zvon's "The Catch" posters are so good that a smart, well-run, fan-oriented, team would make it a giveaway item. Which means that we are the only ones who will be lucky enough to see them.

[Zvon]

I'm gonna break my own rule and the boards rule, because these next ones are not baseball. But I have to share these. I ran into these surfing Tumbler. Not even sure who made them. But really great comic spoof stuff:

CAPTION THIS PIC:

hovering briefly in time and space, the baseball taunts a despondent ike davis.

That photo was on the back cover of the Daily News this morning, but with all of the text, I didn't notice that the ball was included in the photo.

The "clean" version that you posted is much better. It's a great photo, and a horrible one, at the same time.

I happened to see this on the Internet, and I'm quite impressed. If only they had known not to use an action shot for a 1972 card.

That's an actual Topps card (2013 mini - '72 style), and not a DIY. Maybe you shouldn't be impressed.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Okay then! Not impressed at all!

So Topps themselves forgot they weren't action shots? Sloppy/lazy/shitty of them. The first time I saw an "IN ACTION" card I screamed AWESOME!!!!. And it was even more awesome to me that they chose to use many odd pictures.

Like Seaver. So many action photos to choose from and they go with having a belly laugh on the mound.


Grimm, you're the master of the '72 re-makes and that's just the way it is.

The Seaver In Action shot isn't even from a real game. Check out the roped in outfield and Seaver's comically oversized glove. That's from Family Day: The Mets vs. the Mets' own kids. Tom probably just struck out a four-year old.

That is an amazin' observation! I never noticed that and I'm the kind of person who usually would. Very kool batmags.

Look how young (and thin) Mr. Met was!

Any idea what year? That looks like Al Weis, Yogi and Cal Koonce with Mr Met. We got Weis from the White Sox with Agee in late '67 for the '68 season. That has to be taken between 1968 and June 1970. I thought they ran the scarier looking Mr Met out of town years earlier.

[Benjamin Grimm]

The page I found the photo on said that it was taken in 1970.

The Bike-riding Mr. Met shot is a still from the Mets 1963 highlight film. The building in the background is the Bronx County Supreme Courthouse, two blocks from Yankee Stadium.

A Penny for Ikes thoughts: "I think if I lower my stance even more I can.... that's goin foul..... get to the ball faster and...WAIT!WHAT?!"

[Zvon]

A Penny for Ikes thoughts: That wasn't a baseball that went by, was it?

[Fman99]

I can levitate a baseball using only the power of my mind. Plus, fuck you, I am not standing too far away from home plate. Bunch of armchair managers.
