1996 Mets read Top 10 List on Letterman

My NY Mets Journal

This is pretty amazing. There's a Mets fan who is posting his illustrated Mets journal on his blog. An illustration after each game. All 162 of them. I really wish that I had this idea (or the ambition to carry it out) first.

Keith Hernandez falls asleep during broadcast

This one has been making the rounds, but it's pretty funny so I thought I'd post it anyway.

Bobby, come back!

New spring training caps

New Era just unveiled the Mets' new spring training caps. Honestly, I wasn't really aware that such a thing existed. After seeing it, I wish it didn't. It's basically just a streamlined version of the ugly black and blue hat we wear all the time, so I suppose that I really shouldn't get that worked up about it.

The Dr. K. rap

Fantastic.

Doc Ellis' LSD no hitter animation

This is amazing. No, there are Mets involved (Ellis would join the Mets nine years later), but it's too good not to share. And there is a mustache prominently featured.

I'd heard about this game a number of times, but I had never actually heard Ellis talk about it. Some great illustrations add to the experience.

Proposed new Mets uniform

Found this design for a new Mets jersey over at MetsBlog. I like it. Created by Matthew Weiler, it's clean and simple with a nod to the glory years of the 80s. Hopefully, the front office is listening.
