Mets by the Numbers

John, First off, I'd to tell you John that I have bought your book and I find that all the details of the Mets roster numbers are (forgive the pun)Amazin'. As for the jersey being issued for the Binghamton Mets, I can say living in the area for the last 8 1/2 years, that they are not from Binghamton. I took a brief look from my B-Mets programs from 2000-2001, and during that time the B-Mets wore much different uniforms. Even the colors are much different. The B-Mets had two distinct uniforms. The first jersey looks similarly to actually a Yankees jersey (possibly to court Yankees fans up here to see a B-Mets)with navy pinnstripes and the "Buddy the Bee" Binghamton logo on the left breast (logo when pictured is from the right of the buttons. The back has a reddish-orange name on back and reddish-orange number on back. The jersey also has a patch that says "Binghamton Mets" on the left sleeve. The other home jersey from this era, which was worn more often was a Navy blue jersey top with "Binghamton" in a reddish orange "Mets" style script and has reddish-orange number under the Binghamton, all with white trim , where the number is commonly found on the jersey. On the back, it too has a reddish-orange name on back and reddish-orange number on back. The jersey instead of having a B-Mets logo, has the parent club NY Mets skyline logo on the left sleeve. I also used a book called Baseball in Broome County as reference. If I ever get a chance to e-mail you, I might just e-mail a couple of pictures from the book. as for the jeresy it could either be from St. Lucie (A) or Kingsport (Rookie), or perhaps you could have been grifted by a Ebay seller 9which might have happened. Hope the info helps!
