Good morning Met fans (wish I could truley meant that – I swear!!.. but anyway). It’s time for your daily dose of Metscentric information with this – the Saturday edition of “This Day In Mets Infamy With Rusty” So as to paraphrase the MC5 “LETS KICK OUT THE JAM All YOU MUTHAS!!!
New York Mets sold Al “Action” Jackson to the Cincinnati Reds on June 13, 1969. – I was very surprised when I read that because I was under the assumption that he pitched in the World Series and because he is such a fixture to this organization
New York Mets released scrub pitcher Mike “Birkenstock” Birkbeck on June 13, 1995.
And lastly for our daily dose of Mo Vaugn Trivia – HE WOULD’VE CAUGHT LAST NIGHTS DAMNED POPFLY – AND HE WAS’NTÂ EVEN Â THE SECOND BASEMAN !!!!!

Rusty I had no idea about Al Jackson. Isn’t he the guy who won the 1st game ever in the history of the team? Stinks that he was that close to the World Series. Fits right in with the overall history of this team however.
Last night after someone commented that “God hates the Mets” I thought about it for a while and I think rather than that, the Mets simply sold the organization’s soul to the Devil in 1986.
