Nice

Watching the Mets’ bullpen high-fiving before a Sept. 28 game vs. the Nats with “Thunderstruck” blaring from the speakers made me laugh out loud.

It was interesting to be sat

where I was. The bullpen catcher with the long Italian name is always goofing around with the outfielders. Lance Broadway got a Nats fan sitting near me thrown out (or at least when security showed up he fled the scene!) for calling him an asshole. Another Mets fan complimented Dan Warthen on his work (!) and Warthen made the most deflated grunt I’ve ever heard. I don’t think the guy was even being sarcastic.

I also took a load of pics at BP and of the bullpen but I don’t have Flickr or anything so I’m not sure how to show them. Sheffield hit the ball far harder than anyone else in BP – plenty of line drives out of the park.

"Terms of use violation"?

MLB trolls YouTube to make sure no one takes home video of players warming up or high-fiving each other?

A little hard-line enforcement then, I guess

I have no issue with MLB saying “do not videotape the live game action and posting it on YouTube”. Warm-ups and whatnot? Seems a little extreme.

I guess it's because of this

but actually YouTube haven’t sent me an email to say why, nor to ask me to take it down, and they don’t have contact details for this kind of thing (only technical issues)

I have a problem with it

You pay for the ticket, you watch the game and record and throw in on the internet and people watch it. How does the MLB lose money? The game is already over and they replay the game once or twice and then it’s never seen again unless it was a classic.

In any case

my account has been un-disabled, again with no explanation!

by deadspy3 on Sep 30, 2009 2:16 PM EDT up reply actions  

because MLB owns the copyright to the game, that's why.

I’m not saying it is right…..I’m just saying that’s the way the law works.

by fxcarden on Sep 30, 2009 2:41 PM EDT up reply actions  

I get it

But copyright is meant to keep it so only they make money on it, but if no one makes money on it, why would anyone care?

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!
