At least he didn't cheekily say his homer at Shea as a MFYer that made the Apple go half way Anyway, the article in the Post is linked above, clearly it wasn't the type of piece that detailed lists of memories were to be expected.

Tell me when it does blow up, whatever you're talking about. Don't worry, that's not some Twitter lingo, but it simply means it hasn't sparked the discussion I'd imagine he had hoped for. Do I need to buy the secret Met blogger decoder volume of books from Chico Marx to figure out who the noted nostalgia based Mets blogger is? How about a name? And a fucking link to the article? Despite me talking about him, I'd rather not out one of Greg and Jason's competitors. But if you really want to know, it's MetsPolice. The thing about not knowing where he was exactly for Game Six, and the lack of a followup started as a Twitter response to Steve Serby's Q&A piece in the NY Post that Shannon, author of MetsPolice.com, saw Howie Rose retweet. https://nypost.com/2020/12/26/steve-cohen-taking-fan-centric-approach-to-mets-ownership/https://nypost.com/2020/12/26/steve-cohen-taking-fan-centric-approach-to-mets-ownership/ Then he put his thoughts on his site https://www.metspolice.com/2020/12/27/steve-cohen-doesnt-know-where-he-was-for-the-buckner-play/https://www.metspolice.com/2020/12/27/steve-cohen-doesnt-know-where-he-was-for-the-buckner-play/ HAPPY, PAPPY!? Can't say count around Rogers. He hates it when I say count. What would make you think that?

In order to begin building a positive connection with the fanbase, you consent to take questions from the field. A "noted nostalgia based Met blogger" asks you for a specific Darryl Strawberry memory, preferably an at-bat memory. What is your answer? The "noted nostalgia based Met blogger" on his blog post about it threw up the Olympic Stadium roof and Busch Stadium clock moonshots as “examples.”

( I told this story before but was at a camping trip in the woods and informed what was happening by 1 guy listening in his car (Agglera fuckin blew it!) and then another guy 30 minutes later (leaping, Buckner! Mookie!). Point by the tweeter was that Cohen didn't recall where he was, like you can with the Bucket Camping Trip, and that he's the only one that seemingly cares that Cohen can't account for his whereabouts. Nothing to do with seeing the event as it happened. Which he said in the Post article, just that he didn't remember where. While he doesn't strike me as the type who'd fully indulge in the Jordan Belfort/Wolf of Wall Street style debauchery, but he was someone that just turned 30 that summer, and Wall Street was some 350 days away from Black Monday...I'd wager he'd rather not disclose where he saw it, or genuinely blocked everything about that night, except the game from his memory! Speculation aside, that's more the point, can you claim actual fandom, as opposed to “fraudulent” by being able to, if you are old and cognizant enough, provide full accounting of where and how you experienced easily the biggest moment in your favorite team's history.

There was some non-blue checkmark “insider” twats twittering that a signing was imminent in time for Christmas. Clearly that was trolling trash!

It hasn't blown up too much yet, but a noted nostalgia based Met blogger noted that in the quick-fire Q&A article Steven Cohen did with the NY Post, Cohen couldn't account for his whereabouts when a certain little roller was evading the clutches of Bill Buckner's glove, despite claiming he did see the play among fellow fans. And eventually purchasing the ball. I'd argue that it could be deflecting some darker and private reasoning that he'd rather not disclose. But this was picked up on by the social media user as a sign that Cohen might be a “fraudulent fan.” In his blog piece this morning he also picks up on a thing in the same article where Cohen uses no specific moments when describing Darryl Strawberry's presence as a hitter, and gets on the author for not following up, or at least printing a retort. It is a bit of a two hands things though. One hand, yeah that is a moment that cognizant Met fans should recall, even decades later, various details about where and how they experienced it. And over the decades has turned to be THE moment of that season, more so than the final out two days later. And while there are those who say “I don't remember what I had for breakfast last week...” it's the long term memory that manages to come back into focus, especially when constantly reminded that the moment existed. But on the other hand it's still a moment of popcorn entertainment, compared to moments that are more intensely personal (marriage, births, deaths, etc) or profound (9/11, noted deaths, etc). Anyway, it could be more this guy being a troll trying to poke holes in the “Cohen is the franchise's savior because he is a fan” narrative, but it does make for a lazy Sunday conversation

They look to be from 1979. The signatures do not appear to be from Holmes, although I'm pretty much at a loss to ID them. Also, does anybody collect this sort of thing? On edit: I changed to a link because I can't make the picture show. We need to be cyber facebook friends to see that.

Nelson Doubleday, maybe a bit but still not in the same league. I was thinking the same as this thread was unfolding. The Wilpons would've never bought the Buckner ball, even if they were at their financial peak when the ball was auctioned and Madoff had never happened to them. I wonder if the idea of a minority shareholder "upstaging" the owners of the team, as well as the fact that he felt he ended up overpaying, despite giving the person doing the bidding for him a hard figure, is why he stayed anonymous for so long. I mean an on the tens anniversary year even passed between the point of him buying the ball and his announcing that he had it!

You obviously don't read the social media accounts I come across. Or at least the ones that don't make me want to scream at my phone! Does seem that libs want their leaders to subjugate Trump supporters though

I'd argue rebuilding the bridge with Edgardo Alfonzo would be more of a priority. Yeah he was set to go into the Met Hall back in the spring, but the sting of getting sacked following a championship season would be lessened if brought back into the fold in some fashion.

Then he might get into announcers wings of both the baseball and football halls. Later Marty Brennaman replaced Michaels in the Reds booth back in 1974. For some reason Michaels' call of the play that ended the 1972 NLCS (George Foster scoring on a Bob Moose wild pitch) was in heavy rotation for WFAN's “great sports moments call bumpers” they ran in their early days. I mean it was a great call, but it was a local Cincy broadcast call airing on a New York radio station!

Just to add, a few times I was able to get my former employer to do a donation match for whom I donated to from the posts, and it was from the foundation's account that the employee donation matches went out from.

Interestingly enough, well I don't know about the hospital I linked to, but their foundation is more of a funds funneling one, and they don't accept donations. So it won't show up in the annual Christmas donation swaps posts here. My former place of employment had a foundation set up like it, where that was our organizations giving arm, but it couldn't accept out of the blue private donations. Found that out the hard way when I picked it as my charity of choice here one year and no one could find a mechanism to put in a donation, or the foundation's name in charity watchdog site databases! Oops, oh well
