It’s that time of year when a young woman’s mind turns to BASEBALL! We are all big baseball fans in our family, including our soon-to-be son-in-law (still find it hard to say that, but in a happy way!). In any case, lucky for us he’s not a Yankees fan because we are diehard Mets fans. It takes character to be a Mets fan and so we celebrate the little things, like this brush with the trophy for the 1969 World Series win! And now it’s time to “Play ball!”
#ManCandyMonday Tim Tebow
So I went all the way to Florida for Spring Training and didn’t get to see Tim, but luckily he came to me. Well, not just me. The Rumble Ponies rumbled into Trenton for some games with the Trenton Thunder and hubby and I braved the rain to see the game. Here are a couple of photos from the game. Tim did okay and I hope he gets his wish to play in the Majors. We need more positive role models like Tim in professional sports.
#ThrowbackThursday – A Trip to Epcot
This past March we did a family vacation with “the kids” and went down to Florida to watch some spring training games. Since we were doing the Mets and the Boston Red Sox that meant staying in the center since the games were “bicoastal.” So we stayed in Orlando which meant we couldn’t pass up a visit to Disneyworld. We had a blast at the Epcot Flower Festival and ate and drank our way around the world. A good time was had by all and today I’m sharing this video of our adventure!
#ThrowbackThursday Mets Fan at the Phillies
We love baseball in our family and we love the Mets! With my daughter being in school in Philly, however, it was sometimes easier to go down there to see a game than head to Shea. This is one of those trips. If you ask me, the Phillies Fanatic doesn’t look too pleased to see us in our Mets gear! LOL.
#ThrowbackThursday Mr. Met and Me!
A year that promised to be so much turned into an injury-prone nightmare for us Mets fans and the team. It’s hard to believe just how many players went out with serious injuries almost before the season got started. Oh well. There is always next year!
So here I am with Mr. Met. He was at one of local bank branches and I couldn’t resist getting a photo with him. I hope Mrs. Met doesn’t get jealous.
Charlie Culberson #ManCandyMonday
Since we’re in the throes of baseball season and it’s been hard watching my Mets play, I’m reaching out to the West Coast for today’s Man Candy Monday.
Charlie Culberson is currently an infielder with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He has played for the San Francisco Giants and the Colorado Rockies. He also comes from a baseball family since his dad also played in the major league.

#ThrowbackThursday Baseball is in the Blood
You could say baseball is in our blood. We all love to play and watch baseball. I used to play catcher in high school and my husband was an outfielder for his Little League team. My daughter was a mean third baseman, just like her fav player, the Mets’ David Wright. Speaking of the Mets, so sad. I’m convinced I’m a jinx. Every time that I’ve had division playoff tickets, they’ve lost. I won’t buy them again. Sigh.
Anyway, today’s throwback is to my daughter during her high school playing days.
