Izzy?
'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.'

ooh look
a mets pitcher who threw 150 innings over a couple of seasons 13 years ago.
I’m too young for this game. I don’t know anyone who played for the team before 1999…
When asked why I was a Mets fan, I responded, "pain is my lifeblood."

I've followed the Mets since '79...
and haven’t even come close. Familiarity seems to be offset by faulty memory. It all kinda evens out.
