Around SBN: NHL Trade Rumors: Do You Make A Move For Rick Nash?

Wednesday Morning Mets Newsstand

Aa_avatar_tiny by Eric Simon on in Applesauce

Lightning style today:

Moises Alou has been stinky. This is news to no one.

Barry Bonds hit #756 last night.3 Girls With Heart have an exclusive blog post from Nationals' play-by-play man Bob Carpenter. Neat stuff.

Carlos Beltran says he is at 75% and isn't sure when he'll return.

Wally Backman tendered his resignation as manager of the Peanuts of the indy South Coast League.

MLB.com looks back at Mike Piazza's dramatic homerun against the Braves on 9/21/2001. I was there; I cried, I cheered, it was cathartic.

Mikey Pizza!
Im hoping the Carlos B comes back soon. But only if he's healthy. The sooner Green goes on the bench, the better.

Met fan gets HR 756 ball.....
Is that too cool or what. Bloodied guy in Met's tee shirt and what looks to be a Reyes jersey being led out by the cops with homerun ball #756. Who is that guy?
I bleed blue and orange

I heard on the news this morning
that he is a 22-year-old from Queens who was in San Fran as a stopover on his way elsewhere.

I guess he decided to go to the game.  That was a smart move.

Here, I found the story:

We've got ourselves a ball club, the Mets of New York town!

The HR ball guy
That picture of him is great, he just looks unbelievably thrilled and stunned.

Judging by the comments to Matt Callan’s ode to 1986 Mets: A Year To Remember from a few weeks back, the video has a devoted Mets fan following. Despite being too young to remember anything about that season, it has a special place in my fandom as well. It was part of a two video rotation (Ghostbusters being the other) which ran almost daily on my television for a few years in the early 90s. And it remained a once-in-awhile watch through high school and college. Unsurprisingly, the physical tape deteriorated over time, and the screen jumps and sound skips made for a less than optimal viewing experience. With sale of the video discontinued, my brother converted it to DVD and gave it to me for Christmas in 2010. See the picture above for the box and DVD. He even created a scene selection function which can be accessed from the main menu. "Get Metsmerized!" plays on loop on the menu screen. It is my favorite Christmas gift ever and is still nice to throw on for a viewing. "How'd we do it? Mirrors!"

I was flipping through some of my parents' photo albums this afternoon in search of one particular shot of the sign my older sister made for Mets Banner Day back in the late eighties. Though I didn't find that one — I'll post it when I eventually track it down, and I can assure you that it's Keith-themed — but I did stumble upon this wonderful photo of my younger sister's stuffed animal menagerie spread out in front of a glorious rainbow-festooned Mets pennant, also from the late eighties. She works for the HRC now and was particularly delighted to be reminded of this photo. (click to embiggen)
