That deserves a link for context.

I swear, if anything mysteriously tragic ever happends to UMDB human poster "Andy from Rego Park," tell NYPD to pick me up immediately.

After rereading Ken Sanders' own post from 2004, I thought, hey, let me add it to Ken's Wikipedia page.

But there isn't all that much to Ken's page.

I remember that Ken Sanders was a Met, but I don't know much more about him that could flesh out his page. I didn't even remember the injury that's mentioned prominently on his UMDB page!

Every one else loves Ken Sanders

Andy from Rego Park sez: "Not ME!!"

Anyshick, Ken has not only posted on the UMDB, but his son created a nice tribute site at http://www.bulldogsanders.com/

Highlights include this photo at Shea, presumably from Family Day, which has MbtN written all over it:



Highlight number two is biographies of the Sanders kids, including this one of Steve, the website creator:

Steve didn't follow his father into a career in baseball because he couldn't hit for shit, but he is in the real estate business. The Bulldog really knows his music and helped inspire Steve to become a musician.
Hey, Steve, your dad couldn't hit either.

Steve's contribution to UMDB was clarifying the serious injury that took a piece out of his Met career, fanning on a throwback from catcher John Sterans, taking the ball in the eye and dropping to the mound out cold.

Ogden Nash?
Doesn't sound like Nash, but it's likely to be something from Stan Isaac's Left Field Grab Bag contests, which often featured two-line poems with a player's name.

For instance:

People won't know (until he's famous)
That Amos Otis isn't Otis Amos.
