Le Grande Orange

Farmer Ted Apr 20 2007 09:30 AM

Found myself side-by-side with Rusty today at the Palm Beach airport checking out magazines in Hudson News (me looking at Maxim; him at Time). That's one BIG dude. A youngster, about 8 or 9 years old, with a Mets hat walked by. Rusty said 'hey, nice hat'. The kid had no clue.

So did you say, "Hey Rusty how's it going?" or did you just let him read his magazine.

I probably wouldn't recognize Rusty (or any ballplayer) in public unless it was pointed out for me so I'll give the kid benefit of the doubt. Would have been more intriguing for gossip if Rusty were reading Details or Men's Health.

"Rusty Staub, holy shit, Le Grande Orange flies commercial! Say, is Seaver always such a turd?"

How about, "Hey, Mr. Millionaire Ballplayer! Whatsmatter? You can't afford to buy that magazine?"

So the question is; does Ted keep running into ex-Mets at airports by chance or is he some kind of stalker? I met and/or saw Rusty on a number of occasions over the years (although not recently) as he was always a big dude even before he became a HUGE dude.

"I'm sorry, Davey, we can't put you in the Mets Hall of Fame until Ted runs into you in the airport. Rules is rules."

Hah freaking hah. TWO Mets, Seaver and Staub. Mike and the Mad Dog don't count. What shocked me was Rusty wearing black cotton sweat pants and a rather tight fitting gray t-shirt.

Farmer Ted - "What shocked me was Rusty wearing black cotton sweat pants and a rather tight fitting gray t-shirt." "I never knew the Michelin man had red hair." "Oh my God! What was he thinking?"
