Living in Iowa when the Mets started, so few TV games except the very occasional game of the week. Earliest TV memory -- Curt Simmons striking out Ed Kranepool three times on big jug-handle curves.
I kinda meant it the other way around -- did not express myself clearly. It's unusual for a team that's rebuilding to sign an aging, high-priced superstar who's not going to be part of their future.
