    It looks like play-by-play announcer David copied and pasted his 2006 memories in 2008. Probably to get himself back on the "recent memories" page. He's not the first to have done that, and it probably often goes unnoticed. But not this one! I'll have to go in there and zap that repeat memory from January 2008.

    The O was actually missing? Geez... I thought the jerseys were just somehow buttoned funny.

    If he had done it in March, would he have only gotten three months?

    Do they still have a grey road jersey? And if so, does that say Mets or NEW YORK? I was out of town and missed the entire season-opening road trip.

    I'll try to hang in there, then.

    You know, if they don't cover Doc's signature with plexiglass, it's only a matter of time before someone adds another line to it: 87 DRUG SUSPENSION

    And there's a distinction (at least, I see one) between the Los Angeles Dodgers (an opposing team) and the Brooklyn Dodgers, an ancestor of the Mets, as are the New York Giants.

    I guess there really are two different ways of looking at this. To me, a Jackie Robinson memorial in Los Angeles wouldn't make a drop of sense. (As I said elsewhere, it would be like memorializing Connie Mack in Oakland instead of Philadelphia, or Walter Johnson in Minneapolis instead of Washington.) But on the other hand, I don't think a big rotunda in the Mets home ballpark is necessary either. A better place would have been in Keyspan Park or near the site of Ebbets Field (the real one) or near the Brooklyn anchorage of the Brooklyn Bridge. Did you catch what Rachel Robinson said when she was in the Mets broadcast booth? She was so pleased that the photos of Jackie were displayed in tile, making them permanent. She said it's nice to know that they'll be there forever. And then she added, "At least I hope so." She probably realizes that it's likely that her grandchildren, if not her children, will live to see the place torn down, with each individual tile being auctioned off.

    But it would get him the back page, most likely.

    Al Jaffee, a person who is still alive (AND contributing to MAD Magazine) at the age of 88. I remember him for the Mad Fold-In, but his Wikipedia page reminded me of his other claim to fame: Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions.

    There's nothing wrong with snarky comments, but the stuff about the Dodgers is beginning to seem like a dead horse.

    Well, then I apologize if I sounded preachy. That wasn't my intent.

    I'm not passing judgment, just offering my own perspective. If you think I don't care enough, that's fine, but I think it's better to care less than to care more. And I seem to care less this year than ever before. I even thought (very briefly) about shutting down the UMDB rather than gear up for the 2009 season, but since maintaining the site doesn't require that much daily effort, I dismissed that thought.
