Really? Um, ok.

Is he really ready to pitch in the minors?

Wait...yeah, he is.

Obviously, I meant majors.
Stupid.

“… If he wasn’t put on the 40 man roster this year, Stoner would be eligible for the Rule V draft. …”

We've got ourselves a ball club, the Mets of New York town!

That's hilarious!

SNY would be showing the row of signs, trying to figure out what it was. I can imagine GKR debating it. Then they zoom in for a closer look, and OOOPS!

That'd be awesome

But even if we’re allowed to bring them in, there’s no way those stay up on the railings.

notice how the article says "Tobi to join the Mets"

not “stoner to join the Mets”

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.
