Mets Card of the Week: 2015 Danny Muno

2015 TOPPS HERITAGE DANNY MUNO

It’s October 7, and normally this is when I’d be killing time thinking about Danny Muno.

“Danny Muno?” I’d say, “Wasn’t he the main character in Grease?”

Or I might note how my anagrammatic brain and my former-physics-copy-editor brain conspire to make me see his name as “Danny Muon” at just about every spin around the collider.

Eventually, I’d probably get to the lazy exercise of typing “moon” into iTunes search and regurgitating every hit in my library as a song title with his surname as a substitute.

Bad Muno Rising. Marquee Muno. Munoage Daydream. Man on the Muno. The Whole of the Muno. Munodance. And stuff like that there…

But not this October 7. This October 7 is NLDS Eve Day, and the Mets– our Mets!– are invited to the dance.

So let’s all resolve to be giddy stupid about this until the end, whether that end comes with rings attached or with a thick measure of heartache.

If Kershaw and Greinke throw nothing but bagels at us (yes, us), and we (yes, we) come back to Citi down 0-2, let’s believe that we’re going to turn it around at home and play an anything-can-happen game 5 in Chavez Ravine. Let’s keep our faith in this somewhat bewildering 2015 team until circumstances dictate that we point that faith square at 2016.

Let’s! Go! Mets!
