  1. Funny, I remember the ballparks of the 80s being more similar to one another than they are now. They were after all cookie cutters with symmetrical dimensions. And if the variations among ballparks were artificial turf and domes, well I'll take today's "throwback" parks - artificial as they are - thank you very much.

  3. Anna Benson's husband.
  4. All seven and we'll watch them fall They stand in the way of love And we will smoke them all With an intellect and a savoir-faire.
  5. Duh! "No Rain" It must be the Bee Girl.
  6. I so thought this thread was about Ultimate Mets Daiquiris.
  7. The marathon started at noon until a few years ago when they started doing it in several waves from 9:25 to 10:30.

  11. This woman is blogging about the Mets or rather her efforts to become a Mets fan: Rookie Mets Fan.
  12. Hey, I nominated that post! It's all about the reflected glory. One day I mayeven get a nomination myself.
  13. Lots of fat dudes sitting in the stands at Shea drinking beer have worn the number 41.

Frayed Knot wrote: If I ever moved out of the NY sphere to a city with an American League team nearby I could see adopting them as my AL team (never really had one with the exception of whoever was playing the Yanx that day) but not as a replacement of or substitute for the Mets. This is exactly what happened with me and the Red Sox becoming my second favorite team.
  15. Hmm...not to make more work for you, but it may be more accessible if you edit and update the first post as the season goes along.
  16. It's a girl who once was the world's heaviest toddler but has fortunately lost a lot of weight and is a pretty normal tween now.
  17. Edgy DC wrote: Really. They donate in kind to a non-profit --- by forsaking the licensing fees, if not creating providing the actual shirts and hats. Write it off, but get the promotion of recruiting fans among Little Leaguers. So I was kind of right? That donation/promotion thing was what I was imagining.

Frayed Knot wrote: If I were running a LL I don't think I could justify the expense of paying for the registered trademarks of MLB just so you could use their nicknames - especially when half, if not more, of the kids aren't going to like the team they've been assigned to. The use of MLB nicknames & logos seems so common and I do wonder why so many would actually pay for them. I always assumed that MLB dishes out some charitable money to little leagues and that was one of the provisions of accepting the money.
