I have a partner and we love bringing people on our Brooklyn history podcast to share their old stories. We'd love to have you on. I'm happy to know at 73 you still retain and enjoy these memories.BrooklynTrolleyBloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09704760727364587466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28510527.post-64222080863102705012022-12-26T23:08:21.458-05:002022-12-26T23:08:21.458-05:00I know this is a very old post.

I lived in the ship yard when I was a child for 3 years. Left there in 1953. We lived in a converted hospital building by the BOQ. The kitchen window looked out at the Brooklyn Bridge. The building had three floors plus a basement. We lived on the top floor.

However, I find a 100-mph fastball less impressive when they cannot master it. Can they execute high/low, inside and outside. There needs to be something more than a 100mph fastball. Bats will inevitably catch up. Can they master a second pitch; can they execute Plan-B when A is ineffective.

Both are Rule 5 eligible this winter. My guess is that Metoyer gets added to the AAA roster so he will be protected in the minor league portion of the draft - I think it would be a stretch for a team to take Metoyer from Single A and move him all the way to the majors - but you never know.
