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 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.
#ManCandyMonday Chicago Cub Kris Bryant
First of all, congrats to both the Indians and the Cubs for making it to the World Series. One of two long droughts in baseball will end this year. Me, I’m rooting for the Cubbies. I’ve got to stick with the National League and I have two good friends who are diehard Cubs fans, so this one is for you Barb & Priscilla.
So Kris Bryant caught my eye the other day while watching the Cubs-Dodgers game. What a cutie and what amazing blue eyes! Thanks to Kris’s Facebook Fan Page for today’s Man Crush Monday photo.
#ManCandyMonday NY Met Noah Syndergaard
With a Wild Card Game to win, the Mets will have Noah Syndergaard on the mound and besides having a smoking fastball, Noah is a smoking hot guy! 6’5″ with piercing blue eyes and those golden locks. It’s no wonder that they call him Thor. Noah can also hit the ball, having had several home runs and hits as a Met. Nominated to the All Star Game this year, Noah unfortunately had to miss the game due to an injury.
Here’s hoping Thor can bring his hammer down on the Giants this Wednesday!
#ThrowbackThursday The Philly Fanatic
Hubby and I went to school right outside of Philadelphia and as it turned out, our daughter chose a college in Philadelphia as well! The first parent’s weekend, we went out for the festivities and who was there: None other than the Philly Fanatic, the mascot for the Phillies baseball team.
This is my daughter with the Fanatic and my hubby photobombing them!
#ManCrushMonday Baltimore Oriole Chris Davis
Today’s choice, Chris Davis aka Crush Davis, is not only cute and a good ball player, he’s an upstanding young man who believes in helping others. This photo is courtesy of the Baltimore Orioles Facebook Fan page and it’s of Chris at a Casey Cares Foundation event where players take the time to meet and play with critically ill children and their families.
