    The Mets never had a 1st round 10th pick. With the 9th overall pick, the Mets selected Mike Pelfrey in 2005 and Preston Wilson in 1992. With the 11th overall pick, the Mets selected Dominic Smith in 2013. Super-Duper baseball draft interactive search engine. http://www.thebaseballcube.com/draft/research.asp

Would you be more comfortable if he tried to gouge you by selling way above market even though the face value of his ticket has depreciated significantly?

    I don't see any images in any of Edgy's posts. I don't see a single image anywhere in this thread.

    I see the word "image". but no image.

    In this Tug McGraw photo previously posted to this thread, you can see a rectangular white sign where the back chain link fence runs lower. Below you can see the same white sign, but in relation to the black tarp. The black tarp is a batter's eye for Clendenon Field and is located somewhere in right or right/center field at Butterball Field. Harvey Haddix, foreground. Batter's eye, background. So who is this Met standing to the side of Clendenon Field?

    Mets � Willets Point wrote: I posted this idea in the KTE thread, but Frayed Knot suggested I start a new thread to get more attention. The basic idea is to write something similar to a KTE for all the teams in the postseason so as to prepare us for viewing these games. If you wrote a KTE for one of the teams in the playoffs it would probably be pretty easy to just update it for the postseason. Of course there are some teams that the Mets didn't play this season which would require some more research. I'll be happy to take one of those teams, the Red Sox, since I have some hometown knowledge. Frayed Knot has also offered to write up something for one of the teams. So we'll need 8 more volunteers, or if we can wait until the Wild Card games are played and then we'll only need 6 volunteers. Great. Now I can do a baseball card thread for the AL playoff teams that didn't play the Mets this season.

    Here's a shot of the black tarp-like background slash batter's eye at Miller-Huggins in a The Man From Topps shot.. I've seen that black thing in more photos than I can remember, but until this thread, could never quite place it. I just lumped it all somewhere into the vast undefined sprawling forbidden zone forest of a spring training complex that I understood Miller-Huggins to be. But based on the evolution of this thread, I now think that the black tarp is in right/right-center Butterball Field, or even along the first base line -- consistent with the Liefer photo you posted below, and that the Met (Who is he?) is standing in short left, Butterball Field.

    Is that a door in the fence in between Zimmer's legs?

    This ex-Met is posing in a first baseman's stance on the third base bag at Butterfield Ball. Figures. At least his foot's touching the bag. Notice the back fences separating the field from the lake -- the same fences that would be there when the Mets took over Miller-Huggins Field. Who is he?

    I think that Butterball Field was closer to the lake bank or edge. Do you? Is that a road running alongside old BB Field? And does it go under the field?

    Swoboda (his body blocking the clubhouse), the cage and the stands.

    Charley Neal. Butterball Field. The clubhouse. The water fountain. But no cage.
