    Should I be concerned if I find myself aroused by that photo?

    The password they sent me was DOUCHEBAG.

    I remember in 1999 they skipped ahead to issuing "00" to the kids in deference to Turk Wendell. I guess they could continue with the current numbering system for another four years (including this one) if they wanted to, but they'll run into Gil Hodges' retired number by 2014. Maybe they can switch to Roman numerals. Put an X on their backs this year, XI next year, etc.
  4. Benjamin Grimm
    Yeah, I'd guess that it started around 84 or 85 or so. I think before that they either had blank backs or maybe a BB where the number would have been.

    Got an interesting (sort of) question from a fan by e-mail today. I referred the sender to MBTN, but I figured I'd post his question here, too, since there's nothing too trivial as far as we're concerned: Just was wondering if you happen to know what uniform # the Mets bat boys and ball girls will wear in 2010 and maybe beyond? As most Mets fans know they both always wore the year as their uniform # like 86, 87, 88, 00, 01,09 and so on for almost their whole history since 1962. But now in 2010 the cycle starts with real uniform #'s that players usually want like # 10, 11, 12, 13 and so on, most and it won't be until maybe the year 2060 that the Mets can go back to the year system for the bat boys and ball girls.

    Huh! I got it with a different password. I guess they use the password you sign in with to track their different campaigns. Or something.
  7. Benjamin Grimm
    I'll take it.

    It's even on MLB Network for anyone outside the reach of SNY.

    The world really does revolve around you, doesn't it?

    I don't know what to make of this. Was HoJo on board? Or was he following orders? I'd love to think that this is the reason that the Mets offense was so short on power last year, and that now the problem is solved. But I won't be convinced until I see a real difference, and that will take at least a few months.

    The third Met is definitely Ed Kranepool.

    I read where he denied that his middle name was "Howard" and that his given name was simply "Willie Mays." I don't know if that's true or not, nor do I remember where I read it, but I guess I was convinced enough at the time to remove the Howard from his name.

    The only one of those names (and faces) that I know is John Krasinski. I don't get a "Captain America" vibe from him at all.

    Oops, here it is. Opened by John C. Lunchbucket on March 20, about three weeks in advance: http://archives.cranepoolforum.net/11100/f14_t11177.shtml

    The only thing I remember about Friday Night Videos is that it was the reason that, initially, David Letterman was only on from Monday through Thursday.
  17. Benjamin Grimm
    Wasn't there one year when you started the season opener IGT months in advance? The other possibility is that it didn't get archived in the Game Recounts thread but either remained in "Baseball" or was incorrectly moved to a different subform before it was archived.
  18. Benjamin Grimm
    Yes, that was one of the proposed names.

    Only four men have held the title of "Oldest Living Met" and, ironically, one of them died rather young. They are: Gil Hodges, Gene Woodling, Warren Spahn, and Yogi Berra.

    New UMDB feature. Check it out! http://www.leaptoad.com/mets/oldestliving.php

    With five catchers, there should be very few passed balls.
  24. Benjamin Grimm
    It's been almost 30 years and I still haven't quite recovered!
  25. Benjamin Grimm
    Legal for me, I should have said. It was December 31, 1980, and I was 17.
