Though I'd never heard him called "Steady Eddie." That was Ed Bressoud.

Buffalo affiliated with the Mets now?

Nice interview.

I wish he followed up on what Ed was saying about the 73 World Series.
And that one still photo of the 69 on field celebration, I'd like to see a large shot of that.

Its similar to that one I see a lot (recently here, on another thread),
but must have been taken a few moments earlier.

Still a pretty sharp articulate guy. Nice unintentional dig at the Yankees and Braves in there.

Yup, the Bisons are the new AAA affiliate. Nice road grays on the right, too.

He's starting to look like Robert Klein.

I've thought the last five years or so when I see a picture of him that he
looks more like an old Knick to me for some reason rather than a Met.

I think Steady Eddie was pretty common, but I could be wrong.

The video said that the Mets signed Jason Cooper to a minor league contract. He appears to be Buffalo's version of Crash Davis:

I hear 'Steady Eddie' and I still think Giacomin

How about "Crazy Eddie"?

Fast Eddie = Felson
Crazy Eddie = Antar

I've heard plenty of "Steady Eddie."

Heck, it was original email address here: steadyeddie@gmail.com or something.

I like those Bison uniforms! Much better than the Zephers.
