Our own David Russell meeting Mike Piazza today

I was thinking of another David Russell!

Catching up with David Russell ... the other one

David Russell was a star at Bellport High School in the late 1970s when Lou Carnesecca came to recruit him.Russell wanted to stay close to home so his mother wouldn’t

I don’t like the 2 game series though but I’d be happy to take a win tomorrow

 

[BrooklynRed]

How sweet it is! "Otto" continues to impress and Diaz-what can you say. Did diaz commit error because he wanted a strike out instead?

 

[sjc88]

I just want to shout out to Aaron Boone. Jeff McNeil at the plate. Mets just advanced to 2nd and 3rd on a wild pitch. Count is 3-1 on McNeil. First base is OPEN. How do you not walk McNeil there?? I know he’s been in a slide but… I believe JD swing and miss Davis is on deck. That insurance run finished them off. LOL Boone! Good win tonight.

On to the next one. Mad Max on the bump.

I don't care that we beat the Yankees.
I care that we beat the best team in baseball.
Great win.
Now lets actually give Max some run support tonight.

Diaz is an absolute beast (he's no Beast of The East) but a beast, nevertheless! Love the way he goes right at hitters.

He's a poor man's Dave Kingman.
Amazing he's lasted as long as he has in MLB.

I haven't seen Vogelbach in a long time apparently. I don't ever remember him being so big. Reminds me of Ram Man from Master of the Universe.

Kong was a little different. I think one season he had more or almost as many HRs as singles. He was also a butcher in the field. He was a DH in a non DH league.

And a moody, difficult guy in clubhouse

And a moody, difficult guy in clubhouse

Keith Hernandez retold the story that when he was traded to the Mets, Kingman was thrilled. You see Keith was his “ticket” out of NY. Kind of weird that a shitty one dimensional player like him should have been thrilled to be playing anywhere. Then again someone once said Dave didn’t even like baseball. Would explain a lot. He allegedly was a miserable SOB.

Kingman was an unusual player. A lousy 1B who played mostly in the NL but he hit a ton of home runs. He led the NL in OPS his 30 year old season which would get him a pretty good contract in today's world.
