Florida State was loaded during this era. They went undefeated in ACC play like their first 3 and half years till UVA in 95. My older brother was a big amp lee fan. Funny how Brad Johnson was the backup to Casey Weldon and went on to NFL stardom. Shout out Weldon too cuz he was tough imo 💯

What can I say. Willie Mays. The say hey kid. I played baseball when I was a kid. Little league. I have some of the best memories of my life from little league. But to make it to the big leagues like Willie, we'll that's amazing. He also retired when he was on the Mets. That's my favorite team. Love you Willie. RIP. Love you too Tim. I didn't know you passed. RIP

1973 was the first season I followed baseball, and the Mets my team! I didn't want Aaron to get the HR title because I thought Willie would be a great recipient. Add to that the fact that he was obviously slowing down and I liked rooting for the underdog.

My first baseball games were at Seals Stadium in the right field bleachers watching those new Giants from NYC led by the Say Hey kid. Willie made me and my family love the game, including my little sisters. Anyone who watched Willie play could see it, Willie was special, played like a kid, played with flair played with joy. I cried like a baby when I heard Willie’s light had finally been turned off.

Tim McCarver was one of my favorite Mets Announcers, along with Lindsey Nelson, Bob Murphy and Gary Cohen. I also remember when Willie Mays came to the Mets in 1972 to play against the Giants. Rusty Staub hit the early Grand Slam to put us in the lead. Later in the game after Tito Fuentes drove in the tying run for the Giants, Mays hit the homer to help the team win 5-4. That was a special moment. Then the Mets make it to the World Series in 1973, with just 82 wins in the season. I still thought then that Seaver should have pitched game 7, instead of game 6.
@DDEENY4 күн бұрын
I also remember Willie's first game with the Mets. He batted leadoff and drew a walk against the Giants' Sam McDowell, then Bud Harrelson and I think Wayne Garrett got on base before Rusty (God rest his soul) hit the grand slam in the bottom of the first inning at Shea Stadium. Then later in the same game Willie hit his first homer as a Met against Don Carrithers. A day to remember.
@williamamely70384 күн бұрын
@DDEENY While the Mets fell short in the World Series against the A's, they could have won it if Seaver had started game 7 instead of game 6. I was proud of that team, having only won 82 games to win the division. Love my Mets, Jets, Rangers, and Knicks.
@DDEENY4 күн бұрын
@@williamamely7038 I totally agree. I remember how proud I was of the Mets and how they courageously fought back to win the '73 NL East and Pennant against all odds and overcoming all of the injuries suffered in the first half of the season and a slumping Tug McGraw who was allowed to pitch his way out of it by starting a game against the Braves in Atlanta. (Catcher Duffy Dyer playing right field.) The starting pitchers' arms were tired especially Seaver who was a power strikeout pitcher who threw a lot of pitches in the days of the 4-man starting rotation and typically with weak run support. Although owner M. Donald Grant's memory will forever be sullied for the Seaver trade in '77, it was Grant's optimistic '73 team meeting that inspired the "'Ya Gotta Believe!" '73 pennant drive battle cry led by Tug McGraw. Starting Seaver in Game 6 instead of saving him for Game 7 will forever be second-guessed but Seaver volunteered even with 3 days' rest so that he could have the chance to clinch the championship. Yogi should have said no and started George Stone. It was a lapse in judgement on Yogi's part like Red Sox manager John McNamara's lapse in judgement by putting a limp Bill Buckner on the field in the bottom of the 9th inning in Game 7 of the '86 Series so that the veteran Buckner could be on the field when the last out was recorded to clinch the Red Sox' championship and he could participate in the on-field celebration. Thank you and Let's Go Mets!

While I forget almost everything I read back in '74 or '75 (I think Wiĺie was playing for NY Mets then), the thing that Sahadi says, and everybody knows, was that Mays was one of a handful of players during his day that was a 5-star man: He could run, throw, catch, hit and hit for power (666 hrs, or around there). There was some controversy about Mays during his time with the Mets, but I am quite happy that I grew up being able to see him play on the baseball game of the week (free) and get to know about him. RIP 'Say Hey' Kid.

In Barry’s last three years in the league he shot .93%, .95%, and 94% from the free throw line. In fourteen years, his career average was .89%. If I was a 6’9” basketball player with some skill, I would perfect two things; Rick Barry’s free throw technique and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s Skyhook. Why don’t these guys do that?
