We have a winner, and once again it’s Gary, who correctly noted the picture of Chris Short was taken in the Polo Grounds, which was last used during the 1962 and 1963 seasons by the New York Mets. That’s what I find disturbing about this card. The 1969 Chris Short Topps baseball
What’s Wrong With This Card – Chris Short
I am posting this on September 15, 2011, in honor of my first visit to Philadelphia. I’ll be off to see the Phillies in a few minutes. I’m excited about seeing Citizens Bank Park. I remember Chris Short very well. He was a tall, hard-throwing left hander who had a
Citi Field – New Friends
Going to the Mets Game: On Friday evening, September 9, 2011, I headed to Citi Field to meet Barry, Cathy and their son Matt and to see the Mets beat the Cubs. I’m taking the train from Long Island. I’m thinking I’ll get off the LIRR at Woodside, walk upstairs where I can transfer
Citi Field – Welcome Home – Part 2
Here We Go! I’m in luck. Left-hander Chris Capuano is on the mound for the Metropolitans. It wasn’t too long ago that he threw a two-hit, fourteen-strikeout gem against the Atlanta Braves, who are a very good club. If he can handle them, he should be able to handle a
Citi Field – Welcome Home – Part 1
For a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that I live in San Francisco, I haven’t seen the Mets play at home in twenty-two years. But on Wednesday, August 31st, I finally saw the Mets play at Citi Field, where they defeated the Florida Marlins by a

What’s Wrong With This Card – Bill Terry
This is one of my favorite cards from a 108-card set issued by the National Chicle Company between 1934 and 1936. These cards, called Diamond Stars, featured vibrant colors and a variety of backgrounds that included other players in action, cityscapes, banners flapping in the wind, as well as the
Honorary 1962 New York Mets – The Colorado Rockies
Afer the game they rested. Three cheers for the… no, make that two cheers… no, let’s make it ONE cheer for the Colorado Rockies, who by winning yesterday at Denver’s Coors Field ended their somewhat dubious record of losing baseball games on seventeen consecutive Sundays. I’m sure that’s a relief
It’s A First!
When the New York Yankees played the Minnesota Twins today it was the first time in baseball history that two players with 600 home runs and one player with 3,000 hits appeared in the same game. That’s notable and the team here at Grubby Glove wanted to bring it to
Honorary 1962 New York Mets – Chris Davis
In a recent game, Chris Davis played 3rd base and batted sixth for the Texas Rangers. In the lopsided contest the Rangers beat the Minnesota Twins by a score of 20 to 6. That’s a winning margin of fourteen runs. The Rangers got more hits and scored more runs in
