Lost a bet with a friend of mine who is a Phillies fan, so I'm making this rod for him.


Thanks to Ralph "Rodwinder" Scaglione & Mike "Rapt Tite" Joyce for the idea and help pulling this wrap off.


Special thanks goes to Vince Coleman, as I attended a Met-Cardinal game and had front row seats in LF at Shea. We begged Vince for a ball, he wouldfake toss one at us, laughing. 7th inning Howard Johnson pops one up, Coleman runs over to the fence to catch it, and I snatch catch is Rickey Henderson style - right in Coleman's face. We abused Coleman for the next 3 innings, funny stuff happens when you're 15

Reminds me of when we used to take the LIRR to Shea when we were about that age. Fun times indeed. Tug McGraw was the absolute best fungo fielder.


The bet paid off pretty well for your buddy. What would you have won ?

Tickets to a Mets-Phillies series in the new ballpark. The way the prices are, I might have been on the better side of the deal. Too bad it's unaffordable to attend MLB games - I'll save this rant for another forum though. Thanks to everyone!!
