What’s Wrong With The Mets?
In high school I actually wrote a term paper titled “What’s Wrong With the Mets?” It was 1976 and the Mets were dreadful. The only bright spots they had at that time were the fact that Tom Seaver and Jerry Koosman were still toiling with some success and Dave “Kong” Kingman
Boys Will Be Boys
You know things are getting serious when benches start clearing during a baseball game. It’s not everyday you see a basebrawl but then the Phillies have Larry Bowa in their dugout so you can just about bet something is bound to happen. I am just surprised there was no incident
Mets Play Home Run Derby in Philly
