Marty Noble reporting (with his heart firmly placed on his sleeve) that Little Al is in serious condition after suffering a stroke.

Throwing out the first pitch last month, and still looking pretty sturdy.

My favorite early Met player. Some of his pitching performances against the greats of the time (it seemed like he was always in a 1-0 game against an All-Star pitcher) were classic. No matter how tough, he always fought bravely. Do the same now, Al. Later

Wishing him a complete recovery and sending good vibes his way. I read a lot of stuff about Jackson working on the card blog. I had known, or heard his name, as a kid, but didn't really know his contributions to baseball or much else about the man (he was just one of those original Mets to me for many years). What I learned gave me a new found respect for him. What a great baseball person, and much better pitcher than his years with the Mets portray. Get well soon Mr. Jackson. I don't think I've ever known a Mets organization that you weren't a part of.

I had the opportunity to interview Al once, when he was a coach with the Orioles. Very nice man! And I got to see the inside of the visitors clubhouse at Tiger Stadium.

Gary reporting that Jackson is doing well.
