It was a Saturday night. We had a divide and conquer strategy on the autographs - D-Dad and the older kids were on the Ron Swoboda line, while MK and I were on the Tug line. I felt like Ralphie waiting to see Santa at the department store - the clock kept ticking away, and I was concerned that time would run out before we could get to the front of the line. But we scored the autograph - the ball is in MK's room to this day (with the smiley face that Tug included at the end of his autograph).

I had to google to learn that the '93 Mets home unis are, according to Metstradamus, 'the wardrobe of failure".
Below is Metstradamus' wardrobe of failure, being modeled by the pitcher of failure.
Show me a cat on a hot tin roof. I'll accept cold instead of hot. Or mild. Lukewarm, too. The roof doesn't necessarily have to made of tin, either. The cat's gotta be a cat, though.

Bingo!
I think Metstra hit it on the head. Nothing good happened in those uniforms, the price they paid for messing with the classic wordmark.
