Whenever we drove through East Northport (we lived nearby) I'd look out the window in hopes of seeing Bud opening his mailbox or mowing his front lawn. Never happened, though.

The Braves and Phillies are real assholes. Gizmo had about the best of hands I can remember on the Mets. He tended at times to disappear offensively and sometimes it looked as though it was because he was too fat. Still not surprising that a good team picked him up while we went after Diego Whatshisname from Reno.
