Big Day At AA

Just a quick note of thanks to everyone who stopped by yesterday -- many for the first time -- and to all of the fine people who linked to yesterday's interview with Greg Rybarczyk of Hit Tracker. More than 5,000 people visited Amazin' Avenue on Wednesday, which I believe is our best day ever.

If you'll indulge me, here are the folks who saw fit to send their readers here:

Rob Neyer, Baseball Think Factory, The Hardball Times, MetsBlog, Roto Authority, Beyond the Boxscore, Ball Hype, NY Sports Day, Big Blue Interactive, Baseball Manager, Baseball Fever, Project Covo, NeoGAF.

Thank you all, and thanks to all of the existing members of our community for making this so much fun to be a part of.

Don't forget me!

A link also appeared in yesterday’s Mug.

But really, thank you for providing the content that gave all of us something to talk about during a slow offseason.

I don't specifically articulate my motives, because that wouldn't travel as well as a boo does.

Mazel tov, Eric

Dang, you’re in some heady company these days. I hope you remember the little people that used up all your bandwidth on the way up

Swag contest winners?

So we’re not talking about Simons, then.

MAY THE TRASH TALKING NEVER END!

'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.'

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.
