STEADY EDDIE AS HE GOES

Ed ”RustyJr” Marcus posts to day that Ed Kranepool has finished in his Top 50 Mets of All Time Series. While Ed is my top Mets player of all time I knew he wouldn’t crack the top 5 but I was hoping for a top 10 finish.

Kranepool still leads the club all time in games played as a Met (1853) At Bats (5436) Hits (1418) and Total Bases (2047) and many Mets fans today have either never seen him play or really know who he is so I guess a 13th place finish is quite good for an original Met who played his whole career in blue and orange.

GOING TO THE METS GAME JULY 10TH? YOU COULD BE PART OF HISTORY

What’s more NY than Wise Potato Chips right?  Wise are the official snack food of the Mets and on July 10th  every one attending the Mets-Reds game that night will be given a bag of Wise Potato Chips and an opportunity to set a Guinness World’s Record:

The crack of the bat will be supplanted at Citi Field July 10th by a louder, tastier sound as all fans attending that evening’s Mets-Reds game are invited to participate in the Big City Crunch, an attempt to set the Guinness World Record™  for most potato chips ever crunched at once.

            Every fan entering the Mets’ new ballpark for the 7:10 p.m. game will receive a .75-oz. bag of Wise Potato Chips, courtesy of Wise Snacks and the New York Mets.  At the designated time, fans will be instructed to open their individual package and, when given the go-ahead, take a big bite of a chip and CRUNCH.

Representatives of Guinness World Recordsâ„¢ will be on hand to record the occasion and, if all necessary criteria are met, shortly thereafter certify that a world record has been set.
