Why was I thinking he was a catcher?

Edgy DC Jun 12 2007 02:05 PM

9) He undeniably was not a catcher.

Benjamin Grimm Jun 12 2007 02:41 PM

Pitched for the Tidewater Tides as late as 1990.

Johnny Dickshot Jun 12 2007 02:50 PM

Amazin. He was drafted in 1971! We gotta get him in here for a talk.

Is usually one of the players I get in the Song Parody Contest. I pass on him every time.

Ahhh.. hot dog! Wella, wella, well I just got into Shea today Same place that I earned my pay Selling food in section 304 Tigers took me in the draft My ERA, five and a half! Now I'm where the offense cannot score Something 'bout this team is wrong No more Seaver, no more Kong But I've got a job and a house out in Bay Shore A favorite son, I'm such a smash They're calling me The Flushing Flash And I'll never sell a hot dog any more Now my fastball's gone I don't know what to do The Mets just traded me right out the door And if I'm ever traded back I know one thing for sure I'm gonna take the field in Andy Hassler's 44 I sold hot dogs at seventeen Returned a man to Shea's sweet green Though few New Yorkers darkened Grant's Tomb's door But Flushing town, I loved it all Beneath the sign that said "U-haul" So I pitched on, always hangin' round for more Now my fastball's gone I don't know what to do The Mets just traded me right out the door And if I'm ever traded back I know one thing for sure I'm gonna take the field in Andy Hassler's 44 Muni Stadium, dump of dumps Cleveland fans they must be chumps But I soldiered on and hoped for something more You'll never take my Metly pride I'll take my chances as a Tide I guess I'm just a Shea guy at my core I guess I'm just a Shea guy at my core!

Edgy, that song is ...brilliant! Better than the Zep version, for sure!

15) Was all we had to give up to pry Dominick Bullinger away from the Indians in 1981.

16) Starting pitcher on the All-Ed Mets team (we're short on outfielders) SP Glynn, Lynch, RP Bauta, Nunez 1B Kranepool, Bouchee 2B Alfonzo SS Bressoud 3B Charles C Hearn

Edgy DC Jun 13 2007 01:42 PM

No, Glynn would be the reliever and Lynch the starter. Yost would be in the dugout. Gy DC would be the fan.

And you'd have to put Ed Kranepool in the outfield, because if you have two first basemen, it's going to get confusing on pickoffs.

Benjamin Grimm Jun 13 2007 02:33 PM

And you could put Ed Coleman in the broadcast booth.

20) Ed Glynn played for both the St. Lucie Legends (1989) and the San Bernardino Pride (1990) of the Senior Professional Baseball Association. < My post total now matches my zip code.

Willets Point Jul 13 2007 08:47 AM

My ZIP code starts with zero so I'll never have a match.

Cool Ed Glynn memory posted at UMDB: Mike French May 9, 2008 The Flushing Flash, what a great person. I met the Flash at Queens College back in the early 80's. I was on the baseball team. Eddie use to go there to workout during the winter time with Don Cooper (White Sox pitching coach) Omar Minaya (Mets GM), Roy Smith (former Asst GM and player), Larry Rothschild (Cubs pitching coach) and Neil Allen. The Flash was always the life of the party. I started hanging out with him and became good friends. I lost contact with Eddie in the early 90's after he moved to Virginia Beach. Eddie if you ever read this, you were a great person and friend; we all miss you.
