Er

Who’s the rookie forced to dress up as David Wright?

by mnbv on Sep 27, 2009 11:14 PM EDT up reply actions   1 recs

been there, seen that

Atlanta tried dressing Jeff Francoeur up as David Wright, but it only worked when he was a rookie.

Adam Rubin has lobby for more crossdressing
left to right, it’s Lance Broadway, Bobby Parnell, Tobi Stoner, physical therapist John Zajac, Daniel MurphyDavid Wright, Josh Thole, with Omir Santos in front.

Ken Takahashi and the interpreter



http://twitpic.com/jels6 – Even 40-year-old rookies (and their interpreters) have to wear dresses on the last road trip of the season.

I assume that shirt was reccomended to him by

Jeff “Beau Brummell” Francoeur

that interpreter is really giving his all, it seems a little unfair

on second thought, is takahashi really worth also paying an interpreter?
on third thought, perhaps that’s his normal style.

Actually....

that’s KK’s interpreter. KK was in solid black.

That McLouth/Kawakami pic is precious

I also have to respect Mike Gonzalez a bit for rocking the three-piece suit. That’s a pretty phenomenal move.

Actually...

that’s KK’s interpreter in the picture with McLouth. But it is cute. Also, Gonzo rocks everything he wears….rocks…..get it? Sorry.

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.
