Rock it, Ian!

Of course, it’s not too late to make her a Yankee fan and sidestep a lifetime of suffering. Just sayin’.

no way, man

there is nothing classy about a female yankee fan.

some of them have nice knockers, tho.

so there IS that.

but you’re right….99.9% are old, chain smokers, and are there just ’cuz Jeter is “hot”.

You just described my sister.

No weekend spent pantsless is a wasted weekend.

Well, she did get a boob job. I don’t look at them but she did pay 5 G’s for them so they should be nice for those who do look…..

Nice one, little brother

The Mets shop at MLB.com has some nice stuff for babies. but because it is 2009, she spit up on the hat at like 3am today.

Congratulations! Register her here as soon as she’s reading. Maybe she can follow in the footsteps of this kid.

congrats to you both

and while you’re at not letting her become a yankees fan, keep her away from the braves, too

Just know, if there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.

Hey Thanks for the Well Wishes

I’ve been busy this week and I’m glad I have a great little distraction from the end of a terrible season.

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.

Now that banner day is back, hopefully this years will look a little like this. I know it's not great, but i don't pretend to be a professional. embiggen!
