Weird. I woke up thinking about Ed Kranepool this morning. I was free-associating about team-specific Halls of Fame and how there are players who are iconic to their own fan base and virtually forgotten elsewhere. Which reminded me of how a non-New Yorker friend of mine, who knew I contributed to this forum, once called me and said, "Did you know the Mets once had a player named ED KRANEPOOL???" Uh, yeah, kind of. And then I got to thinking that I knew he'd had some health problems and that I hadn't heard anything about him in a while, and that I hoped he was doing OK. The Mets are going to start running out of room for memorial patches this year, sadly enough. RIP.
