Nice article about the apple. I am young enough where the apple is part of my childhood so I love the apple. http://espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs2015/story/_/id/13992952/why-beloved-quirky-home-run-apple-perfect-symbol-newyork-mets Most of the stuff is common knowledge but I didn't know this: Former Mets slugger Darryl Strawberry, a hero of the 1986 title team, said he always liked seeing the apple rise because, "It made me feel like I'd done something good." Stadium staffers, perhaps knowing that, paid Strawberry homage by raising the apple halfway when he returned to Shea with the 1998 Yankees and hit a home run. I figured it must've been a Subway Series game that I had forgotten but I found it on YouTube. It was when the Yankees borrowed Shea. (Can you see the YouTube i embedded? I screwed that up in a post once.) ufH2xaQmmLw I'm trying to find the CPF apple-related thread
