Cooperstown

And David Wright had a Hall of Fame career stolen from him due to his back and the injuries.

So outside of those two, there has not been a career Met that, and this is something Evan Roberts talks about a lot, that we draft, we watch develop, is a star for us, and we all go to Cooperstown together to watch him go to the Hall of Fame with a Mets cap on.

The Mets don't have that.

All their Hall of Famers Mets caps, with it being Seaver, Piazza, and Beltran, all have Mets caps on.

They all did before and after the Mets.

So, Pete Alonso, it seemed like he was going to be that guy.

it seemed like he was going to you know you know be drafted him big prospect for us you know a prospect that shockingly worked out because we've seen many prospects during that exact same time frame not work out i met rosario dom smith a little bit later brett beatty alvarez we see tons of prospects flame out for the best alonzo didn't he became a building block piece and he seemed like he was going to, you know, play his entire career at the Mets, he wanted to be a Met, he loved New York, he loved, you know, the LFGM, all that sort of stuff, and it just seemed like, okay, all these milestones, he was going to be the Mets home run king, everything, and we could go see him in Cooperstown, and He could potentially be the last bet toward number 20.

And that's why that ovation was so loud for him after they showed that video.

And I know that they were all pissed off to see him walk away this offseason.

You know, two summers ago, Rory played in that Cooperstown 12-year-old tournament, and then we went to New York and Boston.

And we were driving into New York, and I told the kids, I go, hey, kids, listen up.

I'm going to do something.

I don't know, Vince, that's a great question.

Uh, I don't think Wayne knows a hall of famer, uh, Cooperstown, but I think he was Cardinal Hall of Famer.

That

one's a give me.

It belongs to the nation.

When Mazz is finished with it, it'll go to Cooperstown.

And that's where it belongs, where they can all see it.

Foul to the right out of play.

And I'm quite confident that Bill will send that glove to Cooperstown.

It belongs up there.

It looks like a glove used in 1909.

Tippett talked to the team, which was freaking awesome.

You go to Cooperstown.

Cooperstown is baseball.

That's what Cooperstown is.

But it's the whole thing.

It's not just the building.

I haven't taken my son there yet because it's not the Red Sox.

You know what I mean? I'm very religious when it comes to that.

And Cobb would send him an autograph.

When I was a kid, if you sent and carried the Hall of Fame, Joe Sewell and carried the Baseball Hall of Fame, Cooperstown, New York, One, three, three, two, six.

Like that was the address.

Just put a self-addressed stamped envelope, throw 10, 10 things in the, in the request.

Like, you know, I've got my own Yogi quotes.

There's multiples in there.

in the story about Yogi because they happened to make, and he said them in front of me, you know, like for instance, we're golfing at Cooperstown and a hall of fame weekend and it's me and, and, and Yogi and, uh, Steve Carlton and Greg spawn Warren's son.

And it's a scratch, you know, so we're playing the best ball.

And I know that they were all pissed off to see him walk away this offseason.

You know, two summers ago, Rory played in that Cooperstown 12-year-old tournament, and then we went to New York and Boston.

And we were driving into New York, and I told the kids, I go, hey, kids, listen up.

I'm going to do something.

I don't care what uniform he's wearing.

If he does make it to some bigger, grander thing, Cooperstown, he's going in a Mets jersey.

They recognize it.

Plus, it's a matter of the fans just throwing a little shade out there to the Mets organization saying, we didn't want to get rid of this guy, even though they did.
