* Got the comments thing working better (I think). If you left a comment, it should be published now.

 

* Mets.com‘s Marty Noble, who cited mbtn.net in a recent article, also prodded us to includeBobby Floyd among those who’ve previously worn No. 57 for the Mets. Floyd, better remembered as a coach in 2001 wearing 55, spent a few days in 1997 as Mookie Wilson‘s replacement as first base coach, wearing 57.

 

* The normally fantastic Loge 13 lowered its standards today so as to include a goofy story and terrible pictures submitted by yours truly. No, seriously, that’s a great blog looking out for us schmoes and our relentlessly reviled home base, at least while that lasts.

 

* Newsday’s Ken Davidoff blogs on Mets numbers and has a kind word for the upcoming book. That word is “terrific.” Thanks, Ken!

 

* Remember how this website used to look? It has come to life again at Kevin’s NumerOlogy site on the Orioles.
