Met Hunter Mar 01 2009 07:03 PM

Snake died yesterday in his hometown of Oklahoma City. Better known for his time with the MFYs, but will always be a Met.

Sturdivant if you want to ... (is that thread still around?) Great Stengel post. I had never seen that one before. Now all we have to do is make sure the Seaver post is fixed.

The amazing Casey post is the bizz-natch. I am sorry that that wasn't here when I was a newb and can hope to see it at post #3737.

Tom Sturdivant, No. 42. I can hear Bob Sheppard say, “Numbah fawty-toooh.” The way he said it just made the number better, sound more official. --- Marty Noble, MbtN
