Every Mets fan has three voices permanently living somewhere inside their head. One reminds us that it's "a beautiful day for a ballgame." Another tells us it's time for the Happy Recap. The third somehow manages to interview a player who just hit two home runs...and wind up talking about his wife's cooking. Those voices belonged to Lindsey Nelson, Bob Murphy and Ralph Kiner. For more than three decades they didn't simply broadcast Mets baseball. They narrated our summers. Th

Mets' prospect Ryan Clifford drew a walk at the All Star Futures Game on Sunday. We look at what could be next for Clifford on this week's edition of Minor League Mondays.

Last week in Sunday School, we continued our month-long look at one of baseball’s strangest job descriptions… Interim Manager. The man with the clipboard but no guarantee. The guy asked to steer the ship after someone else has already hit the iceberg. We first met Salty Parker, the original Mets emergency captain, who briefly grabbed the wheel during the franchise’s inaugural season. Then came Roy McMillan, the former “Mr. Shortstop” who went from Yogi Berra’s trusted coach t

Long before Kelsie Whitmore became the first overall pick in the inaugural Women's Pro Baseball League Draft, before she was pitching in front of packed Major League ballparks as a member of the Savannah Bananas, and before millions of social media followers came to know her name, she was simply chasing a dream that many believed was impossible. On Wednesday night at Citi Field, the Amazin' Mets Foundation recognized that journey, naming Whitmore the recipient of its 2026 Leg

If you think modern baseball trades are complicated, try untangling the 11-player, four team matrix that the Mets executed on December 8, 1977. The Mets were still reeling from the Midnight Massacre on June 15, 1977, with the unceremonious dumping of The Franchise Tom Seaver and All-Star moonshot behemoth Dave Kingman. Almost all trades made today are looking to raid the other team's farm system. GMs are looking for cheap talent that may prove quite valuable one day. Think of

There are baseball lifers. And then there was Phil Regan. For more than six decades, Regan dedicated his life to the game he loved. He pitched in the major leagues against Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Willie Mays and Hank Aaron. He won a World Series with the Dodgers, managed in the majors, coached in the Olympics, spent decades developing pitchers throughout professional baseball, and at 82 years old returned to the New York Mets as their pitching coach, proving that passion

Al Holland, one of the most intense and dependable relief pitchers of the 1980s, has passed away at the age of 73. While his most iconic moments came in Philadelphia, Holland’s career left its imprint across the National League—including some memorable battles with the Mets during his years with the Giants, Phillies, Pirates. He also pitched for the Angels, and Yankees. For a pitcher who essentially lived on adrenaline and late-inning pressure, Holland’s story was never going

Every kid growing up on Long Island who ever threw a baseball against the garage door has imagined the same thing. Bottom of the ninth. Citi Field. "Meet the Mets" playing somewhere in the distance. And somehow you're the guy jogging in from the bullpen. Most of us eventually traded that dream for mortgages and ibuprofen. Matt Seelinger never did. On Monday, the Mets acquired the Westbury native from the Detroit Tigers in exchange for cash, and while cash has been known to pr

Last week in Sunday School, we began our month-long look at one of baseball's most unusual job titles... Interim Manager. We started with Salty Parker, the first man ever asked to temporarily steer the Mets ship. This week, we move ahead eight years to the second. Roy McMillan. Unlike Salty, McMillan wasn't just another baseball lifer passing through Queens. Mets fans knew him first as a veteran infielder, then as one of Yogi Berra's most trusted coaches. Then, almost overnig

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal..." When the Continental Congress adopted those words on July 4, 1776, they weren't thinking about baseball. After all, there wasn't a baseball game to be found. But it's hard to imagine that nearly 250 years later, another American tradition would come to embody so many of the ideals those words represent—fairness, opportunity, perseverance, hope, and the simple joy of coming together.
