    I suspect an Astro. I was hoping that Sabathia would go in with Cleveland's logos, but he actually spent more time in the Bronx and I'm not sure he never wore a Cleveland cap with the C.

    If he wasn’t a such a noted figure in baseball/NYC baseball history, I’d wager Bobby Valentine’s father-in-law’s passing would have been noted in the 2016 version of this thread!

    There is a story about that happening to David Wells the morning of his perfect game. But that could have been the massive hangover he was dealing with. Then again the story includes him and Jimmy Fallon just drinking the night away at Saturday Night Live’s season finale afterparty hours earlier. One problem, SNL’s finale that season, the 23rd, aired a week earlier, 5/9/1998, while Wells’ perfecto was on 5/17/1998. I supppse I could give the faulty narrator credit for the perfect game happening on a Sunday though In any event, obviously not in Koufax’s case when it comes to major inebriation the previous day, I think most of those stories come from distracted hurlers forgetting the plan, as well coaches/managers projecting the idea that rotations were meaningless, and they could have had the same guy start games in a row if they wanted to. So I’ve taken that notion about not telling a pitcher they were starting until that day, with a ton of salt grains

    Should be there a week from Monday for the start of the Independence Day Week festivities in the Capital. No giveaways that day though 🤷🏻‍♂️

    I’m carded at Citi just about all the time. It’s probably pretty much a rule to card every one at sporting arenas. Funny story, I inadvertently narc’d a Citi vendor for selling a little too early on a Sunday because I told an alcohol control supervisor that the kid did ask for my ID before pouring the beer!

    Sadly the craft brewery in the parking garage literally closed the days I was out there in 2022…doesn’t look like anything has taken over the space (next door to a Subway, so it was meant for retail setups), nor does it seem the brewery got back into the craft beer game (ie contract distribution only) in the ensuing time. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Beer hall is still rocking, they were in midst of moving their home base to the downtown district, I forget where they were moving from though but now they are close to the arena where the Heat play in. Not sure if I’ll get over there as mostly I’ll be hitting up Wynwood and South Beach as well as the game.

    Sounds like a Jon Weissman way of doing things.

    Just did a surface Google search for a Floridian college with “Stone” in the name. Did come up with what looks like a trade school in Miami, but might be too small for the sake of a “Stony Brook!? You mean…?” bit There is a mini beer fest going on before the Saturday game. A craft brewery has a beer hall inside the stadium proper, and they have an American style lager named Marlin Lager. And there is a craft brewery in a parking garage complex across the street. Should have a thing or two about all three for Mets On Tap

    Heading down to Miami to catch two of the Mets games later in the month.
