Once in a Lifetime

A year ago, somewhere out in the webosphere, whether it be Facebook or twitter or to an email chain, I said congratulations to the Giants on winning that Orange and Blue World Series, and said here's to Orange and Blue being only on ONE side of the equation next year.

Though the same blue on the American League side of things is still Royal, the marriage of Orange and Blue is only happening on the National League side in the form of their Metropolitan Baseball Club.

And let's be glad there's no red anywhere to be found.

I just bought a place today. Closed on it and everything. A one-bedroom in East Flatbush. The main reason I was able to do this is because I had a grandpa who worked for Buena Vista Distribution, loved his grandchildren, and got them some Disney stock when they were born. That stuff just opened up some once I turned 30. 

The apartment is a couple blocks from Holy Cross Cemetery, which was another inadvertent move on my part to near a Brooklyn Dodgers landmark, the other couple times in my life just bringing me to near the land of Ebbets Field. This time, however, it's not just a Dodgers connection, but the final resting place of the greatest manager the Mets have ever had, Gil Hodges. I took one more look at the apartment today early before the scheduled closing time, and naturally, knew I had to go see his grave. On a day like today, it only made sense.

My realtor, who is a Mets fan as well, walked over with me to take a look. Having directions from the Brooklyn Trolley Blogger Mike Lecolant ("Go in the main gate on Brooklyn Ave. It's just off to the left....not far from the perimeter gate at all.  Obviously, look for the only headstone with pebbles on top of it") we ventured forward. Right after we walked in, a sanitation worker in a regular car drove through the gate. When he got out of the car, I asked, "Do you know where Gil Hodges' plot is?" "No, I didn't even know he was in here till now. Great jacket, by the way." "Thanks." We headed off and soon found out that it was as easy to find as Mike said; A shiny Orange tombstone with a faded Brooklyn Dodgers hat on top being held down by one of those stones Mike was talking about. It was a bittersweet moment; Gil died much too soon at age 49. 

The sanitation worker came over to take a look, and it turns out his name is Andrew and he's a huge Mets fan, as can be seen by his Instagram. He's friends with Darren Meenan of the 7 Line as well as Keith Blacknick of Mets Police, and he also knows a Mets pin guy, who had recently sold him a few. He offered to give each of us a Mets pin, since he had already purchased them anyway. We graciously accepted, as I yielded a full Mets logo for this Mets logo on a city shield. I had recently read about World Series press pins, and so I felt as if I had just been handed my very own World Series pin. Thanks, Andrew, and as you said, serendipitous indeed.

(I also got a real kick from these Delgado and O'Shea tombstones next to each other.)

I did not leave anything on top of the tombstone, as I later thought I maybe should have done, to pay respects as well as add a little Metsian flare with the Brooklyn hat the only item. I thought later on, I should have left the Mets pin, but in the moment, it didn't feel like the thing to do. Adding an extra Mets badge to my Mets jacket felt right after I had been presented with a gift. I have thought that when I get another chance, I'll go leave a Mets Orange rally towel, and a part of me wishes I already had before game 1. But I've also said my superstition this year is that there are no superstitions. I think the visit alone on the day I closed on my first owned property in Brooklyn on the day the Mets play their first World Series game in the history of my full-on Mets fandom that is also the day 29 years ago they won their 2nd World Series is omen enough. 

I sure hope so, 'cause these last few days have me on such a surreal high that I want it to continue with the Mets truly adding the cherry on top. 

3 is a good number.

Let us make it so.

KEEP. ON. PUSHIN'.

LET'S. GO. METS.

The Legacy

For me, it's hard to think about the Mets and see the Mets without thinking about the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Giants. There's a legacy, lineage and likenesss there, and it's always evident in my eyes.

Now, a man from Long Island named Steven Matz did something on Sunday that even his grandfather had never seen, who is, was and will ever be a die-hard Brooklyn Dodgers fan from Bay Ridge, born in 1933.

He didn't STOP being a Dodgers fan because it was his choice. They were taken away from him.

But he did have a choice of becoming a Mets fan, because...well, wait, actually....as he explains it, he didn't there either:

“We couldn’t change our loyalty to the Yankees. There was no way,” said Moller, who currently resides in Commack, LI. “Then the Mets came along, and we’ve been with them through all the years, the good years and the bad years.”

--New York Post 

It's crazy to say this, but that is, in some way, what Omar Minaya got right. Being a Queens kid himself, something deep down inside must have had that legacy in mind when drafting Steven Matz as the 72nd overall selection in the 2009 Major League Baseball Draft. Sure, he probably didn't know yet how deep the roots go, but still, mysterious ways are the ways it works sometimes.

The Mets are a unique beast. The team and its region and legion of Mets fans are the only of their kind to exist because two teams abandoned the New York National League Way of Life, with one abandoning the BROOKLYN way of life, period. Nothing exists like us anywhere else in this world. That didn't happen to any other city or state of fans.

And no pitcher since 1914 has collected 4 RBI's and 3 hits in his debut, and the ONLY PITCHER EVER to collect 4 RBI's in the debut as well.

Talk about a legacy.

This kid's got it.

New York National League to the MATZ.

LET'S. GO. STEVEN.

LET'S. GO. METS.

Musing 'Bout the Mets

Last night, I was thrilled to join Gary Mack on his Mets Musings podcast, bringing with me a dose of the sounds of New York City (which is beginning to be a podcast habit of mine...) as I walked through midtown Manhattan and over the 59th Street Bridge, heading to Sunnyside, Queens.

We talked Mets, the blogs and podcasts of Rising Apple and Bedford & Sullivan, Brooklyn, New York City, and of course, more Mets.

If you don't regularly listen to Mets Musings, do yourself a favor and follow the show on iTunes or whatever other medium you'd like. Gary is a very astute, long-time Mets fan who produces great Metsian conversations for your listening enjoyment.

Enough of me typing. Press Play.

Clem Labine Family Friend Endorses Jacoby Ellsbury

That's a bit of a misleading comment, because Rick Elliott, family friend of the late Brooklyn Dodger and '62 Met Clem Labine, endorses the free agent outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury to stay on the Boston Red Sox.

Somebody reached out to me regarding Mr. Elliott, saying he would be perfect for my Bedford & Sullivan podcast, and they were right. Rick has a plethora of information regarding growing up following the Dodgers in Woonsocket, RI, where Clem is from. Clem found work in the early 40's at Rick's father's garment factory, and worked closely with the family business till they closed their doors in the 80's. Rick has been more than receptive, and has wanted to share some of Clem's memorabilia that got passed down to him when Clem died in 2008.

Though this post is mostly regarding what he had to say about Ellsbury, here is Mr. Elliott's podcast episode for your listening pleasure when you get a chance.

More Television Podcasts at Blog Talk Radio with Bedford Sullivan Brooklyn on BlogTalkRadio

On that podcast, I mentioned I was a Mets fan, and Rick said because Clem finished his career with the Mets, he'll "forgive" me. Soon thereafter, I got a letter in the mail from Rick saying he wanted me to have the signed postcard on the right.

Ain't that neat? It's unfortunate that Clem only made it into 4 innings as a Met, posting an 11.25 ERA before calling it a fantastic career that included 3 world championships ('55 BK, '59 LA, '60 PITT) mostly as one of the early fireman in Major League history. Still swell, though, that he was able to close it out back in town.

(Rick has sent me another awesome item regarding Jackie Robinson that I will show you all at a later date...)

Anyway, Rick and I have chatted a bunch, including via text. We were doing so the night the Red Sox won the World Series, something you can guess Rick was ecstatic about being a New England resident. The text chain eventually led to talk about John Henry the next day, which led to talk about Jacoby, and Rick has given me permission to quote him on here. Here's some of the text chain:

Rick: "...Henry will let Ellsbury slip away 2 Seattle...And if that occurs Henry must be drawn & quartered."

Me: "Hahahah. So, regarding that, it seems you believe he is worth the contract? Not saying I don't, just curious as a potential suitor."

Rick: "Every penny. He owns center field. He is rugged and resilient...a quiet and calm and peaceful man adding stability. Excellent hitter...always on base distracting pitchers...brilliant baserunner. And Sam stats can lie. Take 50 stolen & those walks and singles become doubles & he actually leads the MLB in slugging %. Tell you what, Henry, sell ur freakin' soccer team with Lebron and pay my center fielder what he needs."

Rick: ".....Or Sam...put me down as undecided! :-) But I adore Ells and what he brings. A great stable racehorse."

Me: "That's good to know. Us Mets fans have been wary of him..."

Rick: "...Remember Sam his rep for softness is a crock. He was put into left field to make room for 12 million dollar mistake named Cameron...Though unfamiliar there he was willing to play and collided with Beltre & broke ribs front & back. He had to heal. He did. He's a gamer and tough kid."

Me: "Haha that's how everyone refers to Mike Cameron."
Me: "We need (gamers.)"


Yes. Rick has a bit of a man crush on Jacoby Ellsbury, but makes some good points about the player. We should probably still be weary of the guy, as honestly we should be leary of any long-term contract. Us Met fans are conditioned to believe that no big contract will work out well based on our history. We got a lot out of Carlos Beltran, but still missed a couple years in there as well.

Based off of what Rick says about the guy, though, I am now less weary of signing Jacoby Ellsbury.

But Rick also said the following:

"...Ells is a west coast kid. If Sox don't smarten up & pay him, Boras will probably get him deal in Seattle. He LOVES WEST COAST...He's quiet and reserved. Might try to avoid NY. Even Boston took time for him to adjust.

"(But he's) a dream athlete. A miracle in motion!"

...as I said. Man crush. 

But we all have man crushes.

Anyway, here's the Random Song of the Day.

SIGN. THE. RIGHT. GUY.

Catchin' You Up on All the Podcasts

There have been a slew of podcasts that I haven't been posting in here, and I'll start with the latest of the Rising Apple Report.

...After telling you that legendary talk show host Larry King will be on my Bedford & Sullivan Podcast once more at 2PM ET to discuss the Playoffs, and of course, Dem Bums.

Now, back to the Report! Unfortunately, the beat got to the "Mets will not pursue Jose Abreu" headline AFTER we talked about it for 5 minutes on the show, but that doesn't take away from the great debate and conversation we had. On top of that, we discussed the Jumped-Over-the-Final-Hurdle Willets Point Development project, the arbitration-eligible players the Mets have, and Matt Harvey's decision to have the Tommy John Surgery.

Listen To Sports Internet Radio Stations with Rising Apple Report on BlogTalkRadio

And after you listen to that one, give yourself a taste of New York National League History, staying active listeners in the research process of my developing HBO-Style Brooklyn Dodgers TV Series! Highlights down below include Pitcher Carl Erskine discussing the '55 season on the 58th Anniversary of their Game 7 win over the Yankees, Polo Grounds visitor's clubhouse bat boy Richie McCabe with a slew of stories about the '54 and '55 NY Baseball Giants' seasons, and Dodgers Team Historian Mark Langill discussing Leo Durocher, Larry MacPhail and the early 40's era of Brooklyn Dodgers baseball!

You see, the thing is...

It's not like I'm not paying attention to these 2013 New York Mets. Generally speaking, my ears lock into Howie and Josh when gametime comes around because this is what I am currently living; this is the baseball I am currently experiencing. Even if I am also enveloped by the 1938-1939 Brooklyn Dodgers offseason.

You see, I finished a 2nd draft of the Bedford & Sullivan pilot and though who knows how close to "finished" that draft is, my readings have inspired me to get right onto writing a 2nd episode. The first season could be 8-13 episodes (I am leaning on the former) and I am trying to figure out how that timeline will go, since I have an endgame of October 1941. That will all need to be figured out and written down before the whole thing is put into script form, but it never hurts in my current state to be ongoing with writing all this down for the screen.

A lot has changed since 1939, but one thing that hasn't changed is the impression rookies want to make. The Mets now have 84 losses but who cares? We keep watching (totally just stole that from Greg Prince) for moments like the other night where years down the road, even if most of these rookies' names won't travel far in the annals of baseball, us Mets fans will see them next to each other and remember that time when Andrew Brown, Juan Lagares, Zack Lutz, Juan Centeno, Matt den Dekker and Josh Satin all contributed to a 4-run come-from-behind 9th inning that gave the Mets a walk-off win in yet another "meaningless" September. Though I wasn't presently conscious as it went down, it is such a thrill, and I'm sure others felt the same way, to wake up the next morning and go, "The Mets walked off last night?!"

So, I'll keep balancing the retro with the modern (which, in this sport, becomes the retro immediately therefter.) I may not write about the current incarnation of New York National League baseball the way I did its 2012 counterpart, or in the early months of this season, but they are certainly with me every step of the way.

And you never know how much one week or one weekend or even one game of Mets baseball may inspire me to write a bit more....

Have a great Friday everyone.

The Rookies

What I love about Wilmer Flores is how much of a veteran he already looks with the bat. He's been playing professional baseball for about 6 or 7 years now, and has made it to the Big Leagues with quite the first week. I want all of us to watch video together on here. But they won't let us embed any and I am too lazy to grab the link.

Juan Lagares and Wilmer Flores both know how to hit, and while the latter might need to adjust back once the league adjusts to him, it is clear they have natural talent at the plate. Flores handles his own in the field, but Juan Lagares has been the best defensive center fielder in baseball since coming up. It's nice when players you know have so much talent translate relatively quickly to the Major League level. We'll see how much they keep performing, but I have a lot of faith they will continue to succeed.

Now, the Mets are finally, on August 12th, starting the SoCal stretch, and they once again showed against the Diamondbacks how that they know how to bounce back after a devastating loss (though they need to stop losing devastatingly and just turn this good stretch of baseball playing into 15-game winning streaks.)

I've been talking a lot about the Brooklyn Dodgers lately, currently working on a 2nd draft of a pilot for my show, and now our Metsies take on the team that helped give birth to them in the town that team headed off to. The Dodgers are the hottest team in baseball, but the Mets won't take on Kershaw or Grienke. And they throw Mejia, Harvey and Gee against them.

We'll see how it goes.

Enjoy the game, everyone.

Here's a Kinda Random Song.

Returning the Favor

It thrills me beyond belief that the Mets swept the Colorado Rockies after losing 8 straight to them at Citi Field (not to mention after they got swept out in Colorado, not counting that makeup game we won.)

The last time the Rockies won a game at Citi Field was Collin McHugh's Major League Debut, where he took a no-decision in the Mets 1-0 loss.

He was traded for Eric Young, Jr.

The Mets have clearly needed to win A LOT MORE at home, and it looked to be a thrilling week out in Flushing. It's not even they needed to win more....they needed to stop being 10 GAMES UNDER at home. They need to feed off the energy returning, and this series was a prime example of what it should feel like for the fan and the team at Citi Field.

Shall we take a quick look at some of the highlights?

Those uniforms are so awesome.

Hey, eh, how bout Matt Harvey's first career Shutout?

And how bout a lil pitching and small ball to get the job done?

Oh...It looks like that last game that finished the sweep with a 2-1 score does not have any embedding. Yeah, it wasn't as Baller as those last two highlight reels, but still a solid, solid win (and in those lovely blue unis with the Orange and Blue hat, too.)

It's ok, though. You all know where to find the highlights if you're craving them.

Now, it's time for a series in Phoenix. Keep it up, Metsies.

OH! I guess I can't leave this portion of the post without talking about Wilmer Flores...

AWESOME JOB IN YOUR FIRST SERIES, WILMER.


Anyway, before I embed this week's Rising Apple Report, where Andrew Battifarano and Jason Mast made their Report debuts, I point you to this link as well, where Larry King will once again join me on the Bedford & Sullivan Podcast, today at 1:30PM ET, to discuss an average Brooklyn summer day for lil Larry in the late 1930's, the conversations in the borough streets at that time, more stories from the seats of Ebbets Field, and why Bobby Thompson's "Shot Heard 'Round the World" trumps all others as the most devastating walk-off home run in the history of baseball.

Make sure to tune in at 1:30PM ET.

The Pity Party

Before the last 2 losses, we discussed on the Rising Apple Report a bit about Matt Harvey and how everybody around much feel this extra pressure to perform for him.

You got the opposition getting geared up to face the kid, the pitcher especially upping his game.

You got the offense pressing.

You got Matt Harvey feeling no margin for error.

Yesterday pretty much summed up Matt Harvey's season, and the way the Mets produce around him. I don't know what the number of people left on base was, but I know it was outlandish by the 3rd inning alone. 


Anyway, that same Rising Apple Report I mentioned can be found below...

And also, today at 9:30AM EST, Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Carl Erskine, aka "Oisk," will be a very special guest on the Bedford & Sullivan podcast at 9:30AM EST.

So there's that...

Anyway, enjoy your Friday, folks.

Still Pissed Off More Than 12 Hours Later.

There is really no specific person I feel I can blame for that one.

The offense had chances to tack on. They didn't.

The defense was set up based on the charts. Everything dropped in the right place for the Braves.

Bobby Parnell has had 2 iffy outings in a row, both against NL East rivals.

Terry Collins had the infield back with a 1-run lead. I've blamed Terry so many times this year, I'm clichély a broken record.

The Mets have played solid baseball for quite a while now.

They just haven't been able to go on any real winning streak, and any "#PlayoffPush" is going to involve winning more than 2 in a row before dropping a winnable game.

Forget a playoff push. I would feel better about their chances of finishing at or above .500 if I saw a 7-game winning streak, or something along those lines. It's nice to have 7-3 record every 10, of course. And that will add up by September 29th. They need a real winning streak, though. Especially at home, with their record at Citi Field keeping them a losing team.


Slightly off the Metsian topic, the Bedford & Sullivan podcasts have been a real treat. If you haven't listened to them yet, whether you have a foundation of knowledge regarding the 1937-1957 era of America, Brooklyn and its Dodgers, or you are completely ignorant to the info of that time, my guests have delivered fascinating stuff regarding the period. I highly recommend you stay active listeners in the research process of the Premium-Cable-Style TV Series I am developing.
(and just to keep clarifying, NOT A DOCUMENTARY.)

Anyway, below is a list of the podcast episodes we have had so far. Larry King will join me once again this Friday, July 26th, followed by LIU Professor Joe Dorinson on Monday, July 29th, and Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Carl Erskine on Friday, August 2nd.

Listen in, Folks. And enjoy your Tuesday.

And as always...

What a Way to Finish/Start a Day

It was 12:25. In today's morning.

Cody Ross had put the D'Backs up by 1 in the top of the 13th with a solo shot.

But Josh Satin kept hope alive with a 1 out double to the right-center gap. Manager Kirk Gibson then called for the intentional walk to a struggling John Buck to get to a pinch-hitting Matt Harvey.

Most of us were freaking out that Terry Collins called for not only his best-hitting pitcher but a generally solid hitter to move the runners over with a bunt, wasting an out but putting the winning run in scoring position. 

Now, though, with 2 out. 

It was for pure selfish reasons that most of us just wanted to see Matt Harvey end the game with a double to the gap.

Kirk Gibson then loaded the bases, having pitcher Josh Collmenter walk Omar Quintanilla, who had had some pretty good at-bats over the course of the evening.

It was one of those games where the Mets wasted so many opportunities  (20 LOB in "only" 14 innings) Metsian logic dictated to us that it wasn't going to end with a W.

But at 12:28, any complaining any of us were doing via twitter or other outlets evaporated, as Andrew Brown came through with a huge liner to the gap, ending the evening/beginning the morning victorious over a 1st place team, albeit one who is now there with a 42-40 record.

Since Tuesday, however, is my '73 recap day over on Rising Apple, it's just a reminder us Mets fans know a thing or two about winning divisions with modest records.


Now, let me self-indulge a bit, for yesterday I had the privilege of not only interviewing the official Brooklyn Borough Historian Ron Schweiger, who was a pleasure to talk to about Dem Bums, but the legendary talk-show host Larry King as well. 

I can't thank both enough for their role in kick-starting the Bedford & Sullivan podcast.

And, hey, to tie it all together, Larry's beloved Dodgers, who had an off-day, are now only 3.5 games out of 1st place with the Mets walkoff win.

Nice.

Enjoy the day everybody.

For the inaugural episode, talk-show host Larry King, who grew up in Brooklyn, will join me to share his best stories regarding the borough and its ball club, and how the two have influenced his life.

So, make sure you join me on Monday, July 1, live at 1:30PM EST for the inaugural Bedford & Sullivan podcast!

Hop on the Bedford & Sullivan Express Line

I have stayed mostly strictly Mets here since starting the online home of Bedford & Sullivan, a premium cable period-piece dramatic series I am developing about Brooklyn, the Dodgers, and how both were affected by the rapid transition into Modern America.

Well, to all you Converted Mets Fan readers: If you haven't followed Bedford & Sullivan on facebook or twitter yet, that is your assignment leading up to tonight's 2013 matchup of the Washington Nationals and the New York Mets.

Read here, if you haven't yet, on what I am trying to accomplish, then head to facebook and twitter to get on board.

Thanks a bunch.

Let's. Go. Mets.

And the Irony is Lost on Mo One (Badum...)

As I arrived home with the radio in my ears and Mo on the mound, I certainly thought how ironic it would be that the Mets, who honored him with throwing out the ceremonial 1st pitch, would see him save Matt Harvey's 1st loss of the year. The combination of Mo's track record (along with the Citi Field 300th save he knotted) and the Mets offense's ineptitude lately, one can imagine how little faith ye could have that what went down would go down.

But it certainly was a beautiful thing to hear, and lovely to watch as the highlights rolled in. 

I may even watch the condensed game in a little.

But for now, I got a little self-promotion to deal with:

The following is my new site regarding a premium cable period piece dramatic series called Bedford & Sullivan, a show about Brooklyn, it's Dodgers, and how both were affected by the rapid transition into Modern America. Read all about what I have in mind and where we stand.
