    This flight of back pages feels as if from a fairly normal baseball season, finally. A welcome sight.

    “Of course a ballplayer with a name like this is never going to amount to anything. If you have a name like an orthodontist, you're going to play like an orthodontist. The guy never really had a shot.” From The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading and Bubble Gum Book's assessment of Foster Castleman.

    Foster Castleman, heretofore one of the last surviving New York Giants, 89. https://www.villages-news.com/2020/11/12/foster-ephriam-castleman-jr/https://www.villages-news.com/2020/11/12/foster-ephriam-castleman-jr/

    Dom Smith places 13th for NL MVP, the only Met to attract any support.

    Daviault died Friday in a pool accident at his home, son Francois said. The Quebec native lived in Notre-Dame-de-la-Merci, a small municipality about 70 miles north of Montreal. https://www.dailyrecord.com/story/sports/mlb/mets/2020/11/10/ny-mets-original-member-pitcher-ray-daviault-dies-86/6244367002/?fbclid=IwAR09TtuMZhlGourwNaK8mk9xjMWne_e4x7yU6lXYLbjj7Adbrf0oQFh2I7shttps://www.dailyrecord.com/story/sports/mlb/mets/2020/11/10/ny-mets-original-member-pitcher-ray-daviault-dies-86/6244367002/?fbclid=IwAR09TtuMZhlGourwNaK8mk9xjMWne_e4x7yU6lXYLbjj7Adbrf0oQFh2I7s

    Les Rohr, the first player the Mets ever chose in the amateur draft, 74, on November 6. https://406mtsports.com/baseball/legion/1969-miracle-mets-pitcher-les-rohr-of-billings-dies-at-74/article_e68e5379-9e05-5310-b7c9-e88c84b260af.htmlhttps://406mtsports.com/baseball/legion/1969-miracle-mets-pitcher-les-rohr-of-billings-dies-at-74/article_e68e5379-9e05-5310-b7c9-e88c84b260af.html

    SNY on live for more than two hours so far. They've never stayed live in a non-game situation this long without somebody having died.

    Steve says he likes what the Dodgers are doing, and it's fine. Fred clearly liked what the Dodgers had done, and he got grief.

    Tony is very formal. Asks questions of Mr. deGrom, et al.
  14. G-Fafif
    Different voice from usual moderating the press call — I wonder if that's a harbinger.

    Andrés Giménez wins a third-place NL ROY vote. Somebody else won the award.

    Original Canadian Met Ray Daviault died November 6 at age 86. https://cooperstownersincanada.com/2020/11/09/former-mets-pitcher-and-montreal-native-ray-daviault-passes-away-at-86/https://cooperstownersincanada.com/2020/11/09/former-mets-pitcher-and-montreal-native-ray-daviault-passes-away-at-86/

    Place of passing was Modesto, Calif. Deep profile https://ripbaseball.com/2020/11/08/obituary-rick-baldwin-1953-2020/here. He had never played higher than the AA level, so the experience of spending spring training with the big-league club was a novelty. “They even wash your uniforms for you here,” he marveled.

    He's a very handsome man.

    Please pick up and put back any chairs you might have flung in a fit of frustration. Thanks.

    SC's official statement: STEVE COHEN STATEMENT FOLLOWING TODAY'S CLOSING OF THE METS SALE “This is a significant milestone in the history of this storied franchise. I want to thank everybody who helped make this happen. The 2021 season is right around the corner and we've got a lot of work to do, so I'm excited to get started. Let's go Mets!”

    This from his Visalia teammate https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=rusco-001davDavid Rusco (on Facebook): Just received word that the young man, Rick Baldwin, who told me about Jesus, at age 23, just went home to be with Jesus. After a game on the road, we stayed up all night. We talked for hours about the Bible and Jesus. As the sun was coming up we thought we better get some sleep for the game that night. Rick pitched for the NY Mets, but after baseball he became a pastor. He was still pastoring when Jesus called him home. It's interesting that I also became a pastor. His # was 33, mine 66. I loved that man. But it won't be long before we all will leave this body. My friends, Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one goes to the Father except through Me." Rick wanted to see me in heaven one day. That's why he told me how. I also want to see you in heaven one day also.
