Check out this thread at the July 7, 2016 mark. https://phpbb3.leaptoad.com/mets/archives/23800/f2_t23852.shtmlhttps://phpbb3.leaptoad.com/mets/archives/23800/f2_t23852.shtml Thanks, I felt certain we had visited Adams before, but hadn't underscored the presence of the Met at the front of that unending crowd. When I first encountered the illustration in 1979, it made all the sense in the world to see a Met there, as a Met and a Peanuts character would have been at the top of the list of cultural figures in my relatively tiny cultural microcosm. Why not? I had little notion of how irrelevant the Mets were to the rest of the country, and how someone in Indiana would be about as puzzled by the inclusion of the Mets figure as I would have been had he been a Kansas City King or a Hartford Whaler. And hell, at least the Whalers had a 100-year-old Gordie Howe in 1979. But then I stumbled across it recently and noticed his almost-Yoginess and I figured (correctly, it seems) that the illustration was re-purposed from 14 years earlier, when the Mets were just as bad, possibly worse, but far more culturally relevant.
