Wow

Little bit of pop in that shot, eh?

'Oh yes, I know all about that duty-of-a-citizen stuff. It doesn't go. There are exceptions to every rule, and this was one of them. When a man risks his liberty to come and root at a ball-game, you've got to hand it to him. He isn't a crook. He's a fan.'

Awesome

That was a freaking bomb. It’ll be raining for days in Venezuela.

I tend to overrate our own prospects

but still, everything I’ve seen and read about this kid has me thoroughly convinced that he’s going to be a star. I’m almost glad he had a “down” year, so he and the front office don’t have to deal with all the hype and he can develop and get called up when he’s ready.

Also

Is it just me or does his batting style remind anyone else of Delgado? The stance, the swing, and even the way the ball jumps off the bat all looked really familiar, and it took me a few minutes to realize it reminded me of a current Met…

I see it

but he doesn’t lean in like Delgado.

What is this?

The Zapruder film of a home run? That ball DID go far though.

I was inspired by Eric's comment that Olerud had the best 3-year run as a Met outside Carlos Beltran to look at a few different Mets, and when I noticed that two of my all-time favorite players (Alfonzo and Strawberry) were kinda screwed by having (relatively)bad seasons in between some really good seasons, I decided to see which Mets had the best 3 seasons, period (non-consecutively). Beltran still comes out on top, but my all-time favorite player Alfonzo comes in 2nd place, and him and Straw are the only two to have three 6.0+ WAR seasons. Also interesting that Hundley comes out ahead of Gary Carter, Cleon Jones almost finishes ahead of Mike Piazza, and Joe McEwing doesn't make the list.
