Maz ... that October 13th was responsible for my Mom and Dad allowing my brother and me to drink a couple of beers to celebrate. (This beer thing seems to have been a hard habit to stop.)

Here is a Buddy of yours ....

PS -- I want you to know that the Mets drove me crazy in those years of the mid and late 60's and the early 70's. It seemed you were always destroying our seasons in September. (And yes, I liked Seaver a lot too. He was an engineer out there on the mound as his knee area actually touched the mound during his follow through. Great mechanics -- Mr. Seaver.)

Is that a picture of our skinny shortstop, the one who Pete Rose trucked years ago? Egad, where did the time go :)

Seaver's knee. His mechanics were the model I tough to my son when he played. They were as good as I've ever seen. I recall when he broke the $100,000 per year barrier. I can only guess what he'd be worth today.

The only beer I can drink today is something on tap. with the days of Bert & Harry Piels long gone I've switched to a decent scotch :)
