Busy morning for me as I Have to finish empting out the contents of the Kranepool Society World Headquarters (a/k/a my basement) as renovation of the command center will take place next week. I need to get a lot done this morning so I can head downtown to St George to watch the Brooklyn Cyclones take on the Baby Highlanders. The Cyclones clinched the NY-PENN League wild card spot last night and will play the Baby Highlanders in the 1st round of the playoffs starting Tuesday.
Check out this great post that Shannon of The Mets Police has today about bringing back the traditional Banner Day celebration they many of us grew up with as Mets fans. This may be the pet project of the off season writing posts about what should be included in the 50th Anniversary celebration. No matter what the Mets do the Mets blogging community needs to get together to let the Mets know, NO BANNER DAY, NO PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went on the field one year for banner day. We should have won. My buddy (6-3, 310) had a Mets “y” stitched on his clothes, and I was a human Mets “N” on his shoulders. Rusty was a judge, and pointed at us, and gave us a thumbs up. I waited for our name to be called the entire second game of the DH, and we were never called.
To this day, I don’t know how my buddy did that. I’m 6-0, 185. It was probably 20 minutes.
Memories…
By the way, babe, you’ll get to see the future of The Yankees in Dante Bichette, Jr.
He’s a masher!
