No, Im thinking of another set. This is that set and I remember these. These were very kool. Thats a classic card style.

I won't be making this set of cards for a while yet. Sniff...I WANT I WANT I WANT! = FWIW, Fleer did a 1986 World Series "limited edition" set and there are some cards spotlighting the postseason in Topps' Woolworth Exclusive 1986 Highlights set. Both can be picked up for about a buck or so on eBay or something. I had em both. They were neat, Fleer one especially kool looking. Iirc the Woolworth one had a red border. I love world series cards. Always have. Those I collect even if they aren't Mets.

Runs please. Hamels gone and good riddance. Spank this pen!

I heard the out at third on the radio. Philly radio is worse with Tekulve. Blah. Ha! Asche really really sucks. Classic last out at third.

HA! HOW LONG HAVE I WAITED TO SAY IT? MY NEMESIS, UTLEY, HE SUCKS!

Hamels is in a groove now. His pitches are snappin'.

Phils pheed shows Q may have ticked him but they say no. Any definitive view? These guys won't show one.

Good play by Young. Muffy, you hadda catch that! Thats the run thats gonna hurt.

Taking advantage of every opportunity. This is strange.

Ha. That was just a load of horseshit from Matthews. They might be good, and we knew that, but we never were afraid of them.

Thats a big run. A 2 out run.

robbed.

Wrights up again. *sits up*

You can tell by the parking lot behind the fence. Therefore, the cage was built after the Spring of 1964 but no later than 1967, the last year when Westrum would have been in St. Petersburg with the Mets. The Mets replaced the back fence, too -- maybe because the old fence could not have provided proper support for the cage. I'm gonna call that particular diamond Butterball Field. ha, I like this^. Yep, and the water on the left. If I know the Mets they just added the middle fence beam for more support, as opposed to buying a whole new fence. Come on. Its the Mets. Yep, probably when they added the cage of mysterious doings, because I'm still not sure what they do in there. Has to be hit I figure. Looks kinda tight for that though.

Played for the Mets. According to the caption to this photo, which I've learned in many instances can be wrong with these online photo places, this is that ex-Met player pitching batting practice for the Dodgers in 1973. Who is he? His name is in this thread somewhere. That doesn't look like anything like Chris Cannizzaro but he was the only one-time Met on that team. Valentine was on the Angels in '73. I wonder if the Dodgers would've retired Gil's number had they remained in Brooklyn? Tom Paciorek was on that team too. Doesn't look like him either. I forgot about Paciorek. Can you blame me? The caption says it's Chris Cannizzarro. I figure the odds of it being correct, especially with the fact he played there then, is 75%. Some of these captions at the photo agencies are all fkd up and wrong more than I ever would have expected. They're are always trying to pass off 73 post season photos as '69 WS pics.

They look like they are part of a fence, but I can't see the fencing part. In any case, why would a fence be there? If Milner is off to the side of the Clendenon corner that fence pole is an accident waiting to happen.

Glass and McGraw were photographed on the same day, probably no more than minutes apart. In both photos, the cage door is open at the precise same angle; there's the same rock/object on the ground at the same location near the cage door; and there's the same streak in the sky, maybe from an airplane. That is an incredible observation. Yep, same jet trail, people,...they must have lined up for the spot.
