Schaefer Year Eleven

Apr 06 2015 12:53 PM

Voting for the 2015 Schaefer Mets Player of the Year Award will begin on Monday, April 6, the Crane Pool Forum has announced. This will be the eleventh season that Crane Pool Forum members will be participating in Schaefer voting. The Schaefer Mets Player of the Year Award was established in the 1970's, and Schaefer points were awarded by Mets broadcasters Lindsey Nelson, Ralph Kiner, and Bob Murphy.

The award was re-established by the Crane Pool Forum in 2005. Third baseman David Wright has been the winner in in six of the ten years of the revived prize. The other winners were Johan Santana in 2008, Jose Reyes in 2011, Daniel Murphy in 2013, and Lucas Duda in 2014.

A voting thread is opened in the forum at the conclusion of each regular season Mets game, according to CPF spokesmodel Benjamin Grimm. Voting generally stays open for two business days, after which the votes are tallied and the results are posted in the voting thread. In addition, says Grimm, each month a Schaefer Mets Player, Pitcher, Relief Pitcher, and Bench Player of the Month will be named.

Voters are asked to adhere to a specific format, which is outlined at http://archives.cranepoolforum.net/6200/f9_t6278.shtml

Re: Schaefer Year Eleven

Yes, that's correct! Thanks for mentioning that; I meant to include that in this year's announcement but it slipped my mind.

Alex Torres = ATorres
Carlos Torres = CTorres

Also important to distinguish the Morris triplets from one another.

Re: Schaefer Year Eleven

Just seeing all those cards in one place makes my day. I'm torn about which one I like best. Clearly the '72 Colon in action is a classic. The '77 Wright is perfection. The '76 Campbell looks like it just came out of a pack. I have fond memories of that set -- I pulled a Seaver in the first pack I opened that year, and declared I didn't have to buy another pack for the rest of the year, a vow that I believe lasted a day.

I'll come out and say it. The battleship gray design of 1970 is about as depressing as anything Topps ever did. Makes me feel bad to look at — real bad — and speaks of no era in particular so much as an era in which people don't care about anything, and the player doesn't seem distinct with regard to his position or his team. It says, "My friends all got real Topps baseball cards but my parents got me this generic off-brand cardboard crap."

That it was the design on which the Mets most miraculous victory was celebrated is like the team's second historical damning, after their misbegotten birth.

That said, the 1971–1974 cards are a dream. Those designers belong in the Hall of Fame.

And the thing about the 1970 cards is that they were actually a step up from 1969, which had a nearly recycled design and bunches of recycled photos!

Re: Schaefer Year Eleven

I don't know. The 1969 designs are uninspired and derivative to be sure. But the circles are two-toned, good contrasts on the colors, and the fonts pop more than the dark-gray-against-the-light gray fake script of 1970.

Plus the excellent portraiture features the players with their hats on, which means more color. I just realized that a lot of what I don't like about 1970s are a lot of indifferently coiffed hatless portraits. The 1969 portraits are heroic. The 1970 features the greatest player on the planet in what looks like hostage photo.



I guess what I hate is all the gray. It's like they they're asking me to buy the car while it still has its primer coat on. Do me the honor of finishing it, and then we'll talk.

Re: Schaefer Year Eleven

Just my opinion here -- and I don't generally even look at how others are voting much less notice a trend -- but I did today and Tejada seems to me to be getting schorted his schare of Schaefer considering his 3 hit (2B + 2 1Bs) 2 RS performance (Monday night's 7-0 rout of SD) one that saw his as the first guy on base in every run scoring inning except for the one that produced the final run and only the K + K/CS sequence prevented him from scoring more after he got to 3rd w/none out.

On Sunday, Steven Matz became only the second Mets player to score a perfect 6.0 in Schaefer voting.* The only previous recorded instance was Jon Niese, on August 27, 2013.



*Detailed Schaefer information for 2005 has been lost. I'm pretty sure that Aaron Heilman scored a perfect 6 in April 2005, but I can't prove it.

A friendly reminder from the folks at Schaefer Beer that there's no better way to commemorate the closest thing the Mets have played to a crucial game in years than by voting for its heroes in the Schaefer POTG contest. Threads for this great game and all recent Mets games are open up and down your favorite local messaging board.

And be sure to have plenty of ice cold Schaefer on hand for when the pennant races really heat up.

Also, I've decided that Schaefer voting will continue in 2016, but in a different form. I expect that this new method, which will take place outside of this forum, will cause a further decline in participation, but will also result in a lot less effort on my part. I'll still share the results here on the CPF, but the voting will take place elsewhere. Look for further details during the coming offseason.

Next year there's going to be a new system, and games will generally be open for voting for a longer period of time. (I'm thinking at least two weeks.)

It all stems from my desire to be less hands on with this.

Voting for all four of the games listed below will close on Thursday morning, some time after 10 a.m. Voting for the September 6 game is especially light. Remember, we only have a few weeks left before Schaefer voting in the CPF ends forever, and there's a pennant race going on! There's never been a better time to do some Schaefer voting!

Imagining this conversation pre-Opening Day.

"We'll get to the middle of September and David Wright will not have been Schaefer Player of the Week even once."
"What?"
"But Yoenis Cespedes will have won it twice."
"WHAT?!?!?"

Also surprising: Bartolo Colon has won more often than anyone else, four times. Three wins each for Duda and Harvey, and twice for Cespedes, deGrom, and Murphy.
