Hmm

Lanky lefties with a high arm slot…..Mr. Koo maybe?

That was my guess, too.

'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.'

Is that a changeup grip?

Its gotta be right? His hand is covering the ball, his thumb is on the side instead of the bottom, maybe making the circle with his index finger.

Yup.

Definitely a changeup. Looks like a soft tosser as well since he is kind of selling himself short with his stride.

Side Game

Name the name of the stadium at the time the picture was taken.

looks like florida to me

teal fence with yellow homerune-line trim

by englishgrey on Feb 11, 2009 3:00 PM EST up reply actions  

I don't think Florida has a see through fence

But if it is, is it Joe Roby, Pro Player, or Dolphin Stadium?

by Reg Dunlop on Feb 11, 2009 3:06 PM EST up reply actions  

ok i though that was a serious question

until i looked up the answer and discovered those are all names for the same stadium…well, at least i learned some useless trivia.

by englishgrey on Feb 11, 2009 3:55 PM EST up reply actions  

Enron Field.

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.
