  • Simply amazin!

  • And since 2012 is the 50th anniversary of that inaugural Metropolitans season (and obviously, the 50th of the franchise), I have a good idea for a throwback/alternate jersey they could wear at The Citi in 2012... Since they apparently will not be wearing much black at home in 2012 (and that's a shame, too. Because the black-on-royal mix was a good look for them at home as an alternate), they should bring that original home jersey back. No number on the front, no name on the back. Yay?

  • It's "AMAZIN'" how history repeats itself, huh? The current-day Metropolitans (that is the team's real name) are those early-60's Metropolitans again. Damn...Madoff fucked those cats up, man. And they STILL owe money! That's some tough shit. It's hard for me to believe I rooted for that franchise just 23-24 years ago. They (the players, exces, owners, everybody in royal & orange) were on their way to greatness by that time. I really don't know where it went wrong for 'em. But they are bad now.

  • The Polo Grounds was a hitters paradise only if you were a pull hitter. Because of the outlandish outfield dimensions, it was generally a very fair park overall, not really favoring hitters or pitchers...

  • The Polo Grounds was only a hitters paradise in 1962 when Met pitchers were on the mound. The amazing thing about this video is that I was at this game. I remember my grandfather, an old Cardinal fan, bemoaning the fact that Vinegar Bend Mizell was at the end of the line. This game was played on June 20, 1962.

  • "Been in this game one-hundred years, but I see new ways to lose 'em I never knew existed before."
