    Fairly played in 21 different seasons, homered for six teams, went deep 215 times overall, yet didn't total 100 homers for any one team. Never hit as many as 20 in a single year nor drive in as many 80 runs in a season. Still seemed solid as hell for a long time.

    I don't get the value in buying Deadspin and telling them to stop being Deadspin, which is their core competency.

    Ron Fairly, 81, a first-year Los Angeles Dodger, first-year Montreal Expo and first-year Toronto Blue Jay. Played with the Cardinals, A's and Angels, too. Longtime broadcaster on the West Coast. His 1967 Topps was one of the first cards I ever had.

    The two best words in sports: Mets win. But “Game Seven” will work.

    If the Astros win tonight, the Nationals are done. If the Nationals win tonight, we get a Game Seven. Win-Win (unless Natlimination is your foremost priority).

    Most Spring Training back page subtext screams: NOTHING GOING ON YET

    Because Johnny Murphy died young, his legacy may be the least known of early key Met executives. 1969 GM who died of a heart attack the following January. Oversaw scouting during Mets' formative years, helping build the foundation of the world champs. Mets HOF inductee, 1983, along with Bill Shea. The John J. Murphy Award is still given annually to the outstanding player taking part in his first big league camp. Jeff McNeil won it this past spring; Garth Brooks won it in 2000.

    Pat Murphy can manage the Mets to a division title in year one, yet he'll rank a distant fourth among significant Met Murphs. But the opportunity to leapfrog Billy Murphy will be right there waiting for him.

    I think I learned the term “snakebit” from Murph describing Lolich's luck (and had it ingrained in me when it was applied to Koosman a year later).

    Mike Puma says Luis Rojas is out.

    A Mets third baseman has homered in each of the franchise's last four World Series: Garrett, Knight, Ventura, Wright.

    Spotted on field prior to Game Four of 2019 WS: former Mets manager and coach Frank Howard, in a Nats jersey, sharing a word with one of the Mets he coached, Tim Bogar.

    Former Mets manager Mickey Callaway reportedly close to becoming Angels pitching coach.

    Astros win. It's a Series again.

    The Fall Asleep Classic.

    Martino = Tracky.
  23. G-Fafif
    First World Series game in Washington since 21. Juan Soto has just turned 1933.
  24. G-Fafif
    Bob Nightengale says Eduardo Perez is the clear frontrunner despite Martino propping up Bogar.

    I decided it was Amed Rosario getting himself caught in a rundown between first and second to let a run score.
