As an old time ( sometimes ) Scout poster it's fun hearing all these old screen names. I remember Patio Daddio as not being a bad guy until he got a little power and he turned into the Pol Pot of message boards.
I enjoy this stuff. For really oddball pics try and pick up a book titled " Take me out to the crowd " Great shots of Turner riding an Ostrich and pushing a baseball down the third base line with a bloodied nose
My name is Mike ( I was bobbaganeusch on Scout ) I live about 2 miles from the Meadowlands Sports Complex in northern Jersey. A member of the 50 + club. I lurk more than post but check in daily and enjoy reading the site.
I remember the brouhaha with Torre and Paul Richards that led to his trade. The Mets were interested in trading for Torre and the NY papers said Nolan Ryan, Jerry Grote, Dick Selma and Ed Kranepool were some of the names being bandied about.
So basically the same team? Im not opposed to that but why would things be different this time around? Same core, same manager spells a repeat of 2014. I would EXPLORE trades for everyone not named Julio or Alex
