I'd post a Top Ten Things about this photo, but I could never limit myself to ten.

1. Butt-ugly uniform

2. More folks in the dugout than in the stands.

3. Great moustache

4. No catcher or batting practice cage (or is it nor?)

I got the idea that it was a game shot and the catcher was just offscreen. Eggshell white seats represent the existential fragility of the entire Mets franchise at the time.

5 - Elliott Maddox's fro. Or is that Frank "Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel" Taveras?

6. The Cubbie Bear on the sleeve

7. There's no KABOOM!

8. The situation must have been a nail-biter.

Laugh all you want, Nancies, but I think it's pretty damn impressive that he even made contact, what with being handcuffed to his own waistband like that.

His manager told him to bunt. Later

Heck, you could do 10 things on the uniform alone! Reverse pinstripes! The number in the middle of the uniform, which I think I read somewhere was a mistake and they just went with it. Lettering doesn't contrast enough with the base color of the jersey! Sans-a-belt! (Thank goodness the Mets never resorted to that!)

Edgy MD Jul 29 2015 06:56 PM Re: Kong

Yeah, he seems to have the full sidewalls on the mustache like Nino. That would place it in 1978, Kingman's best full season. I think it may be Mike Bruhert next to Nino.
