I love Jon Stewart.

Yea

I don’t agree with everything he says, but he doesn’t take himself seriously which is awesome. And he’s a huge Met fan which is even better

Jon Stewart and Bill Maher

are probably the two funniest men on television right now. Colbert is a close third.

I have several stories about Colbert.

Namely, he lives in my town, and he often used to barista at my old middle school’s book fair.

Good stories I hope.

Nobody likes to find out celebrities they love are really gigantic dicktorinos.

Nah, he's a good guy.

Very humble in real life.

Do we pray to the Oyga-Boyga God?

She had some logic fallacies in her argument, though. And she’s a Yankee fan…It’s good to see Mets fans in high and public positions.

lots of comedians are Mets fans

I think b/c growing up being a Mets fan gives you a great sense of humor

"[The Giants] beat us down. We were beat by a grown-man team, a team we want to be like one day. They came in here and took it to us. Out-manned us, out-gunned us. ... It wasn't even close." - Raheem Morris, 9/27/09

Who else?

I know there’s Stewart, and Seinfeld, but after them, I’m drawing a blank.

Kevin James, Chris Rock

Tim Robbins but he’s not really a comedian

This dude

Signfield, or something like that, is supposed to be a Mets fan. He had a show on NBC for a few years in the 90s, not very popular, and you can’t find re-runs anywhere.

Nevermind.

This site really needs a delete comment option.

That's right, I forgot about Chris Rock

the funny part to me

was seeing Jon have to hold in a major Met rant. You could tell he just wanted to go off, but caught himself and realized 99% of his audience would be horrified.

agreed

Introducing Buddy Alderson, Sandy's dog, and the newest member of Puppy Avenue!

Embiggen here.
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.
