As Ron told us tonight, Cashen remarked when getting doused by a RL pitcher in 86 that the " guys that do the least party the hardest"....

Valadius Sep 18 2006 08:46 PM

A nice video tribute to the Mets season with some great memories.

Valadius Sep 18 2006 09:02 PM

I posted that already. [url=http://cybermessageboard.ehost.com/getalife/viewtopic.php?t=4567]Here, first post.[/url] Good video though.

Ya know I totally remember watching that locker room celebration and seeing Cashen get doused and then seeing him make that comment. When Darling mentioned it tonight I could not remember who it was that doused Cashen. Elster may be right though.. Who was it that soaked McCarver in a particularly nasty manner a few years later in a locker room celebration? Anybody remember that? It wasn't a Met but I was just thinking about it.

Dion Sanders.

soupcan Sep 18 2006 09:05 PM

YES! Thanks irish.

Johnny Dickshot Sep 18 2006 09:06 PM

McCarver was critical of Sanders playing in Miami on a Sunday afternoon then flying to Pittsburgh that night for a Braves playoff game.

Valadius - "I posted that already. Here, first post. Good video though." I figured that it had been posted previously, but I wasn't sure since I can never see the embedded videos people post. I can view You Tube directly. I appreciate you including the link seperately during the IGT today, those I can see.

The thing about baseball players, once they're out of their uniforms with the names and numbers, I can't tell who is who.

There's further confusion in that other sources report Cashen entering the locker room, getting doused, than withering the douser on television with a wordless look. This may well be an alternative recount of the same incident or possibly a second Cashen-as-grump-at-the-party account.

I think that's Sanchez doing Omar.

Frayed Knot Sep 18 2006 09:28 PM

Sanders not only soaked McCarver once, but kept leaving and re-loading to drench him a second and third (and maybe even fourth) time - attempting to get him back for the critisism while hiding behind the curtain of "just celebrating". McCarver eventually started to go after Deion although kind of admitted later that he didn't know what he was going to do if/when he found him. "I know what I would have done about it 20 years ago" said the then 50-some y/o announcer.

Shoot, that's the one guy I thought I had pegged because of the goggles. If it's not Duaner than I don't know who it is.

From watching that film Sanders was a total bollox..no surprise in that though.

Edgy DC Sep 18 2006 09:32 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Sep 19 2006 05:51 AM

Deion Sanders: one of the greatest athletes of the century, and if you asked me what I think of when his name comes up, the first two things are him twice infuriating aging catchers, who both likely would've lost had he taken them up on their challenge.

Johnny Dickshot Sep 18 2006 09:37 PM

Sanders really was a helluva athlete. Qualified for Olympics in track, good enough for a 9-year MLB career he didn't take that seriously, and a two-way starter in fb who probably was the best cornerback and kick returner for every team he played with. He was never as big personality as he wanted to be. I hope some of his prior transgressions embarrass him a little today.

If it's not Duaner than I don't know who it is. based on what I read at Newsday, I'm guessing that it's Pedro (although it doesn't look like Pedro to me either)... ]By the fifth inning, Pedro Martinez was sitting on the edge of the dugout, wearing goggles -- perhaps in anticipation of sprayed sting in the celebration ahead.

Valadius Sep 18 2006 10:13 PM

The guy in the goggles is definitely Reyes.

Valadius Sep 18 2006 10:25 PM

vtmet Sep 18 2006 10:29 PM

Well Fred didn't get the "meaningful games in September" yet...but looks like he was happy to trade it for "Champagne shower in September" instead... And looks like you are correct, "googles" looks like it's Reyes based on the jaw-line and the little goatee...although I'm not sure that is the same "googles" getting Omar...SportsCenter showed Pedro snapping on the googles in the celebration... Jeff looks like an annoyed Jeeves the proper butler...

great pics! Thnx to those who assembled them here.

For so long last night, I kept wondering who was the tall guy going crazy with the many of the Hispanic players. For a while I thought it was the guy from the commercial: "I'm just here for the Bud Light." And I had no clue who he was until I realized this morning it was Oliver Perez. Oh, yeah, and thanks to all for the great pictures.

Something like "You ever notice it's guys who do the least who spray the most champagne"? This is really beginning to resemble an urban legend. In Baltimore, they refer to this as "Brabender's Law" -- the player who does the least contributing does the most celebrating. Brabender was a role player on the 1966 WS champion Orioles. The team's EVP was Frank Cashen.

Edgy DC Sep 20 2006 09:35 PM

I got in a poorly done snit over it at the UMDB, where somebody said that Cashen said it about Doug Sisk.

Johnny Dickshot Sep 20 2006 09:48 PM

Yeah, I saw that. I'd bet every winning team has a guy about whom that's said. Cashen would have to have been aware of the humor and memorability of that putdown, and probably said whatever he said, about whomever, with that in mind.

Edgy DC Sep 21 2006 07:34 AM

How embarrassing.

Farmer Ted Sep 21 2006 10:58 AM

Whoever summoned Mark Spitz and brought the goggles to the champagne-fest is a genius.
