N.Y. Mets: Introducing The Mets Hall of Pretty Damn Good
From the desk of: HEAD-BUTTING MR. MET
Brian Wright selects 30 starting players and reserves, with 18 additional honorable mentions. He also selects a manager, two coaches, a general manager, and owner. It is with little hesitation that I say he nails it. The book is a smooth read with not a single dead spot. All his player selections receive their own narrative which took yours truly on a journey through many Metsian memories and joyous moments in time. A very enjoyable read indeed.
What follows is my roster comprised of players not mentioned in Brian Wright's book.

A Most Glorious Metsian Podcast with Special Guest, Skip Lockwood
From the desk of: HEAD-BUTTING MR. MET
Sam (the archaeologist) dug up this old Tweet of mine. I can't be certain what I meant by that #hashtag, but I'm quite certain it was in response to #MetsTwitter. Proof, nonetheless ... I love Skip Lockwood. I was 12-years old during his last season with the club. He ranks among my very select list of Mets players most responsible for igniting and fueling my passion for our Boys of Flushing during the mid to late 1970s. It is my great privilege and honor to have spoken with Mr. Lockwood. A thrill I will not soon forget. #LGM
One of my all-time favorite seasons!
