Good reception, currently in Wellfleet on Cape Cod.  Distance about 250 miles in daylight

1140  "Boomer & Gio Show" with entire crew ragging on/bemoaning the Mets after being swept by Braves this weekend.  Pretty funny stuff.

Willie Mays was recently inducted into the Mets Hall of Fame for his World Series single that sealed the 1969 Series title for the Mets. Not bad for a middle aged guy who only played one season for the Mets.

Aaaaaaaah, Pig - I was in Elmhurst, Queens in '69, two miles over from Flushing - could see Shea from the sixth floor of my Junior High in Maspeth (JHS 73) - lived and died baseball, still do.  Mays came to the Mets in May '72.  He played, albeit sparingly, during the Mets '73 surprising post season run to the Series where they fell to the A's 4 games to 3.  Mays' pinch hit (for Kranepool) RBI infield single in the fifth, in the deciding Game 5 of the NCLS versus the Reds, made the score move from 3-2 to 4-2, Mets would win 7-2.

Mays may have been the greatest athlete of all time, but my dentist, who booked him for a local fundraiser said he was the most unpleasant man he ever met.

I give him a pass, he came in when the game was just getting integrated. He caught a lot of crap on the road and from opposing players.

I flew into JFK from France one April. Caught a helicopter shuttle to LaGuardia and passed by Shea Stadium while a game was going on. The pilot was giving us an impromptu tour on the way. He flew low and slow by Shea, it was like a camera shot from the Goodyear Blimp.
