This time on the Mets Memorabilia review, let's take a look at the 2013 All-Star Game program from the 2013 All-Star Game at Citi Field. Now this magazine is a far cry from the 1964 one from Shea Stadium, in which the program was probably roughly 60 pages, and sported an illustrated cover of [...]
David Wright and Matt Harvey weren't the only Met organization employees to perform in All-Star Games this month. There was also the Major League Baseball Futures Game at Citi Field this past Sunday and the Triple-A All-Star Game held Wednesday night. As well as the Double-A Eastern League's All-Star Game held back on July 10th. [...]
Recently an eBay auction for a “unique” collectable caught my attention. The opening price was only about 4 bucks for an 8x10 mockup of Willie McCovey’s 1968 Topps baseball card. Only instead of the Giant road greys, Stretch was seen in vintage Met road greys (which is slightly odd considering the photo on the card [...]
A year-by-year examination of how Mets players did in the All-Star game in the polyester 70s. And Maz got hosed in 1979.
With the All Star Game coming to Citi Field, it might be fun to run down Mets in All Star Game history. First up the 1960s. 1962: Game 1 7/10 DC Stadium, Washington, DC NL 3-AL1 The Mets' first representatives for an All Star Game were centerfielder Richie Ashburn as a reserve outfielder, and [...]
Earlier in the month, David Wright recorded his 1,500th career hit. The hit naturally extended his All-Time Met hit record and puts him halfway to the vaunted 3,000 hit plateau. One can argue that the club, currently standing at 28 and including some of the game's biggest and most iconic names, is still one of [...]

So, the Mets swept the Yankees for the first time in their regular season history. Sill kind of hard to believe that conceivably the biggest wins of the season came before June started, but that the way it seems. What? Oh, yes there is what happened 40 summers ago, but that was due to a [...]
In honor of Matt Harvey being the regional cover boy of Sports Illustrated last week, it might be a fun trip into the TARDIS/Delorean/hot tub/time travel device of your choice…or even SI’s online archives, and chronicle Met covers through the years. We start off with March 5th, 1962 and a rather dour Casey Stengel in [...]
A few weeks ago, a Met blogger put forward a case for Met fans to vote Collin Cowgill for the 2013 All-Star Game because his name will be on the ballot for the duration of the voting period. This despite Cowgill being demoted to Triple A on May 3rd, after 19 games and a .157 [...]
According to the New York Mets Memorabilia Club's Checklist, 2013's edition is the 103rd different Met Yearbook (counting the Spanish editions of 1988-1990, and 1992 as well as all the various editions of the Yearbooks through the years, even “Final Shea Stadium Homestand” and SGA reprints of the 1969 (two actually), 1973 and 1986).
