Tom Seaver

The New York Mets meant well in their construction of a statue to honor legendary pitcher, Tom Seaver, but made a critical error that has confused fans everywhere.

Chris Bassitt will start the home opener for the New York Mets on Friday against the Diamondbacks. Mets starters are 5-0 this season with an ERA of 1.29.

Many New York Mets fans had a tremendous problem when the team's former owners failed to pay homage to the Amazin's franchise when they constructed Citi Field prior to 2009. The atrium is dedicated to Brooklyn Dodger star Jackie Robinson, the seats are New York Giants' Polo Grounds green but there was a bigger problem. Something, rather someone was missing.

There was hype and there was build-up.  People packed Bruno Stadium (sellout crowd in fact) to see the #1 overall pick make his pro debut for the local Tri-City Valley Cats.

I love David Wright like any Mets fan, but as usual the Mets biggest news comes from something symbolic, but nothing that will make the team better for this season. David Wright was named as the 4th captain in New York Mets history and it seemed to excite the minions but on the field this means nothing...

I could end the post right here and I have said it all. However no chance would I leave it that simple. As a lifetime Met fan watching a Met totally whitewash an opponent is nice. Real nice. To do it against a long time foe makes it that much sweeter...
