GARY CARTER RUMORS & GOSSIP
Numbers Could Favor Piazza Next Year
Timing plays an important factor when it comes to being voted into the Hall of Fame. It was that way for Gary Carter and figures to be that way for Mike Piazza.
Piazza fell short this time, garnering 69.9 percent of the votes. It is possible he could pick up the six percentage points needed to reach 75 percent next year in what could be a thin class with Ken Griffey Jr., and Trevor...

Tilting at Windmills: The continued double-standard that is the Baseball Hall of Fame
I have long held an unpopular opinion. I believe if you have Hall of Fame talent, you belong in a Hall of Fame. I, myself, believe this shows up earlier rather than later. I didn’t think that Jim Rice, Duke Snider, or Gary Carter should have waited over 5 years (and in the case of […]

In honor of our presidents, here is a repost of the all presidential All Star team:Since it is President's Day here in the United States, a holiday that means that the government and the banks are closed, but most everyone else is still working, it might be fun to come up with an all President All Star Team.

Mets Shorts: Kiner’s Korner, Casey at the Bat, Speed Swag
Adam Rubin spoke to a Mets official who definitely left the impression the team will do something special to honor Hall of Famer Ralph Kiner, who contributed to Mets telecasts all the way until his death at age 91 last week.
The source didn’t reveal any details as to if the Mets would wear a uniform patch as they did to remember Gary Carter. But the sentiment among fans is to...

Field of Dreams: Mets edition – Catchers
Last month, I began the construction of the Mets’ Field of Dreams in Field of Dreams: Mets Edition – Pitchers. Five starting pitchers and six relief pitchers were added to the roster, which means there are only nineteen spots left.
