Google Books has most every Baseball Digest available in fairly wieldy navigation form. Plenty of issues from the '70s and '80s. I discovered BD in 1972 and at one point owned every issues from 1974 to 1988.

Excellent article....fun to read that Doc had 33 quality starts out of 35....WOW Got a kick out of the Scouts report under that article Veteran Scout Names the Major Leagues' Best Worst arm , outfield , infield or anywhere - Lee Mazzilli (Pittsburgh) - Ouch Best fastball: Dwight Gooden (New York Mets). And then the ad for the major league tryouts....

Grass is on the way out, no doubt about it. Always thought the Braves were trying too hard with that giant leap for the southeast business -- especially since the Giants finished directly behind them in the West. The West...it didn't cross my mind for years that Atlanta being in the same geographical setup as three California teams was odd. As the late '90s and early '00s would prove, it was preferable.

Here are your remaining in the glass Mets.
My answer to the subjective trivia question would be Mickey Lolich. Why Brown, but not Lolich? And if Lolich was initially included in the caricature but then cropped out after he announced his retirement, then why did Leon Brown remain in the caricature? Brown was traded before Lolich announced his retirement. Or did Lolich confirm that he would not return to the Mets for the 1977 season months before he officially announced his retirement? Where's Mickey? And Leo Foster? And Pepe Mangual?

| G-Fafif Aug 23 2010 02:47 PM Re: Mets Junk in the Trunk |

I honestly believe(d) that's Leo Foster's caricature (based on press packet photo) and the artist screwed up and drew "Brown". Leon Brown was off the radar heading into 1977. Lolich had made it clear long before Opening Day he wouldn't be back. My question is where's Ray Sadecki? He made the team for a brief second go-round. Glad to see Bob Myrick was part of the crew if only to confirm the existence of Bob Myrick as something more than my default No. 44. Sorry this got in the way of your late August spring cleaning, but this was fun. Thanks. (And Willie w/basket is now my wallpaper.)

Yup. Me too. I could only imagine what the originals of those drawings would take in right about now. Stark was a friend of my father's for a time and a great caricaturist who did a lot of TV/movie stuff as well as sports. I had a few wall posters of his - Get Smart & F-Troop IIRC - which I wish I had kept in better shape and hung onto.

I suspected that you might've gotten Jack Davis and Bruce Stark mixed up. David did a lot of work for TV Guide Magazine from the mid-60's though the 70's. He caricatured most of the shows you referred to in your post.

Wow, I saw the style and did not even look at the signature. Were they twins separated at birth or something? How much other Davis stuff have I mistaken for Stark? My perspective of reality has been shaken!

That's not an actual Willie Mays jersey you're wearing in the photos, is it?

That would be like using the Shroud of Turin as a bath towel.

I think you're hiding your coolest Met jerseys from the forum. Here's what you're missing from the 1980 Magic is Back ad campaign besides the Mazzilli subway strip insert that was displayed inside MTA trains above the seating benches: A huge Magic is Back Lee Mazzilli poster (about 4' x 4' or perhaps even larger) This hard to find (but I have one) subway poster contains the same photography and copy that is on the Mazzilli strip --- but the layout is different because the subway poster is square while the strip is rectangular. A Magic is Back subway poster (rectangular and not as large as the aforementioned Maz poster) including photographs of practically every single 1980 Met. Even Ed Glynn.

Junk in the trunk and junk on my desk. This paperweight's been on my desk for years. And years. I never use it. In fact, it always ends up underneath all of my other junk, counter-purpose. It looks like a stadium giveaway, but I don't specifically recall how or where I acquired it.
