He meant that the Braves, like the deadline, are approaching.

Don't the Blue Jays play in Canada?

I was thinking that if the Mets hadn't traded Jeff Kent in 1996, he might have put the 1999 or 2000 Mets over the top. (Or maybe the 1998 Mets.) But they got pretty good production out of Robin Ventura and Edgardo Alfonzo, so maybe it wouldn't have made that much of a difference. Maybe they should have kept Kevin Mitchell? Or not traded Mike Scott for Danny Heep?

And do they really have a radar gun for games played by 11-year-olds? (That's not a rhetorical question. Do they? Maybe in some upscale leagues.)

I'll do the same if they go with "Benjamin Grimm"

Sticking with this, I looked to see how many catchers had enough playing time (and success) in their first season to win the Rookie of the Year award. There have been nine: 1968 Johnny Bench (CIN) 1970 Thurman Munson (NY) 1971 Earl Williams (ATL) 1972 Carlton Fisk (BOS) 1987 Benito Santiago (SD) 1990 Sandy Alomar Jr. (CLE) 1993 Mike Piazza (LA) 2008 Geovany Soto (CHN) 2010 Buster Posey (SF) I don't expect that the Mets will ditch McCann and give the job to Alvarez. I can see a year or two where they overlap, with McCann acting as a mentor, if he's willing.

I just did a Google search on "youngest all-star catcher" and got this: Ivan Rodriguez was the youngest catcher to start an All-Star Game when he was voted to start in 1993. Pudge was 21 years old at the time (born in November 1971). He had been previously named as an alternate the year before in 1992.

I assumed that it meant that he was a good bowler.

I like it. I do hope that the eventual design includes the Unisphere.
