Some quick hits to go with your Yummy Mummy Cereal:
1) This is a fantastic article about players in Baseball history that brought in fans. Go read it.
2) So apparently the Ranges are not that close to getting Oswalt.
3) The Mets won again last night! That's 6 in a row and 26 runs over the last three games. Also Braves and Phillies won the so the Mets remain .5 games out. However the Mets are now also .5 games out from the Wild Card as well.
4) Chipper may retire after this season.
That was an interesting article on gate attractions. Fortunately I am old enough to remember “The Bird” and Fernando. I had forgotten how good Pedro Martinez was at his apex.
He was even an event after his apex (although not as much). I remember Shea being packed for his starts his first year with the Mets. I seem to recall the Mets selling an absurd amount of tickets day of for those games.
