yeah guys, I don't know how I stayed a Mets fan. There were some really horrible years. Horrible is too nice of a word to describe it. I just could not see myself rooting for another team. I have always stayed with my Rangers, Giants and Sixers but almost gave up on the Mets. When Dykstra was traded away that was almost it for me. The baseball strike was the final straw. I watched minor league baseball more than major league. My dad and I would travel around the whole northeast going to minor league games and we would not talk about going to a MLB game. I don't know what brought me back to baseball, but what brought me back to the Mets was the trade for Mike Piazza. I did watch Piazza a lot and he was a Philly guy who I rooted for. I guess he is who got me back in the game and the Mets.
