Happy Memorial Day. Keep in mind those who gave their all in service to a great country. And enjoy a ballgame tonight and most every night (or day) for a few months.

Snapped by his mom on Mother’s Day, while I watched from the Excelsior level very far away and cheered on my two beloved little dots. Careful, kid — linger out there in left field too long and you might find yourself at first base with a borrowed glove.

In the 1979 Mets yearbook, the organization wished one of their own the best as he ascended to Cooperstown. Willie Mays wore the uniform of New York’s National League entry for fourteen seasons, six playing in Harlem, two playing in Flushing and six more tutoring “the kids” of Queens.

Spotted in the window at the Lincoln Center Barnes & Noble, at Broadway & 66th, is Faith and Fear in Flushing: An Intense Personal History of the New York Mets, keeping company with some other recent releases in the baseball genre. FAFIF: AIPHOTNYM is proud to stand adjacent to Ron Darling and a couple of spots over […]
