What exactly is "Most Inspirational Player"?

Does Tejada give great motivational speeches or something?

Actually he's the "Most Inspirational Pitcher" [LOL, error]
This season, one player has distinguished himself with his youthful exuberance and his contagious play, all contributors to being named the 2009 Most Inspirational B-Mets Player.

[sic]

…this player has wowed his coaches, teammates and the fans of Binghamton.

[sic]

This season he has set new career highs in doubles with 22, homers with 4 and RBIs with 43. After batting .229 last season for St. Lucie, he has improved his hitting clip to .288 against more challenging pitchers at the AA level…

Wow a pitcher who hits 22 doubles, 4 HR and 43 RBI's.

No wonder he is one of our top prospects!

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.
