This always reminds me of what a great pitching coach Rube Walker was for the Mets. Seaver, Koosman, Ryan and Tug all pitched into their 40's, and were still effective. Thank you, he was just able to fell himself again this summer. Rube Walker, Joe Pignatono and the bullpen tomato garden 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used to host a baseball tournament for anyone over 30 to enter in Port St. Lucie right before the start of spring training and the winners would play the 69 Mets. The tournament was a week long, the Mets players all just hung out for the week like a vacation before they had to play their 1 game. Rube and Joe loved me for some reason and would take me all around the practice fields, introduced me to current players (got pictures with my idols at the time, Doc and Darryl plus all the other player, Ron Darling was the coolest). But yeah, the bat boy was cool. Met everyone! The only player who wasnt there was Nolan Ryan (and I player who passed that I cant remember) because Nolan was still playing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustInFudge Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Seaver still had it. These guys couldnt touch him. And he was toying with them, toss the ball up over his back catching in the air and pitching, throwing it between his legs during his motion, it was unreal. He was doing like globetrotter type stuff on the mound and he was like 50. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you missed anything by not meeting Nolan Ryan. From what I know he's not a very personable guy. He never shows up for any events, either, so not surprising. lol.

My mom was his secretary and she was sent down there for 2 weeks during the summer, so I was allowed to tag along. My dad came down later which was really cool because I didnt know these guys like he did. It was like he was the kid but he told me stories about the players and it was like reliving it all with him. At the time, I was more excited about all the current players were showing up that I got to meet. Doc, Darryl, Darling, McReynolds, Howie, Jeffries, Carter, Sasser, Magadan, Ojeda, Viola. I didnt me them but Mookie, Dykstra, Hernandez, Cone were all there too, among others. Another neat thing, it was like this big party so celebrities would show up. I dont remember them all but the one I remember the most was Leslie Nielsen. He was just as big of a goof ball as he was in the movies. He had a flower that squirted water on his suit and one of the handshake shock thingies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great day for the Mets. Alonzo and Dom in game 1. Diaz with a clean inning to nail down the save. Rosario walk-off in game 2. Pretty sure the Mets are in one of the WC playoff spots if the season ended today. And it is sounding like the team is closing in on sale to Steve Cohen. Things are looking up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
