When your memory fails and the photographic evidence is hard to come by, you can always count on The Man From Topps.

Another sign that I'm getting old: I just realized this series is over. I can't believe the Mets aren't staying in Pittsburgh one more day to close out their Memorial Day series on, you know, Memorial Day. That's how they used to roll. I won't go so far as to say that I was also expecting a Memorial Day doubleheader; that expectation would make me ancient, instead of merely old(er).

Who am I? I once broke up a pitcher's perfect game in the first inning. Or something like that. Wish I could pose for you in those classic original Pads unis. You'll have to settle for these duds instead, probably the first incarnation of garish 70's sportswear this furshlugginer team would come to be known for.

The Cubs and Giants will still be Wild Card positioned when you wake up tomorrow morning, no matter what the outcomes of their respective games tonight, which are still in progress as we go to press.

You should check again. You probably picked up an old Oliver Perez IGT.

Now what? All of Niese's IGT's are claimed, as well?

bump. So the Mets spent practically the whole season in first place and David Wright's played barely one week's worth of games.

2. Mets 3B David Wright and C Travis d'Arnaud both took batting practice Friday and are expected to play in minor-league rehab games next week. So I'm thinking early July at the latest ... barring set-backs of course. As if ... David Wright is shut down for a week with back stiffness, Mets announce BY Kristie Ackert NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Saturday, May 23, 2015, 2:04 PM The wait for David Wright's return will be even longer. The Mets captain was shut down for at least a week with back stiffness on Saturday, the team announced. The third baseman has been out of the Mets lineup since April 15. He was initially placed on the disabled list with a strained right hamstring. He suffered lower back pain and was shut down on May 8. Friday, Wright took batting practice for the first time since the injury and apparently his back stiffened up after. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/mets/mets-shut-david-wright-week-back-stiffness-article-1.2233256

You'll probably need at least two photos to identify me. People are always confusing me for somebody else.

You won't find me Topps carded in a Padres uni, but guess who did find me? And guess who's me?

I can't hide from that Man From Topps. He'll get me even if I'm not modeling one of those snazzy original understated Padres uniforms. I can't lose him in this nation, no matter how big it is. Who am I?
