Your Cards of the Day: Topps gave the first League Championship Series (1969) the full treatment in the 1970 set. Note that all the photos of the Mets and Orioles are at home, despite the first two NLCS games being held in Atlanta and game 3 of the ALCS in Minnesota. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

The Staging of One of Baseball’s Most Famous Images The Steve Gromek/Larry Doby Photo Revisited

Tomorrow is the 77th anniversary of the Steve Gromek/Larry Doby photo from the 1948 World Series. I wrote about it today--its importance in "Our Team" and how a research discovery almost sunk the climax of my book. Enjoy. substack.com/home/post/p-...

A month that is made for coping, and a team that’s proven easy enough to move on from. www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2025/10/06/m...

Some guys I prefer not to use in @immaculategrid.com. Tonight one guy seemed an appropriate answer.

The team with the frown is coming around to drag you down to the ground. www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2025/09/27/n...

327 away.

With their 82nd win in the books, the Mets will post the 29th winning record in their 64-year history.

Luisangel Acuña has just tied the Mets single-season record for most pinch-running appearances with 23. He has 5 games to pass Rod Kanehl (1963), Leon Brown (1976), and Tim Bogar (1996). #LGM

Thirty consecutive Closing Days attended. One invisible percentage point behind. #LGM www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2025/09/22/g...

Ah, the Mets and their complex relationship with their own destiny. #LGM www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2025/09/21/d...

"Can we follow you to the 7?"
"How many runs will they get out of this?"
"Wanna meet on the Shea Bridge?"
"Are there bars in Woodside?"
So many questions embedded within a single midweek day game. #LGM
