By the way, do you know where the Mets got their name?
I might have known, once, long ago, but can't now remember. It's not that I'm old, it's that when "Dem Bums" left Ebbets Field, I lost all interest in Major League Baseball. ( except that as an old Dodger fan, I despised, and still do, the N.Y Yankees, and still feel good when any team beats them ).
These days, the Chicago Cubs are the closest thing I've found to the old Brooklyn Dodgers. ( except for their World Series Record )
Mets, as I recall, was short for Metropolitan (something).

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
