I'm Old I'm Fat, I'm Bald, I'm Ugly, I have a plate in My Head


This to me has to be one of the best titles to a chapter to a book that I have ever read. Of course we aren't talking about anybody here at 24 hours but some may not agree with that.

Its a Chapter title in Espn baseball analyst Tim Kurkjian's book : Is this a Great Game , or What?

This book has alot of great little stories about past and present day ballplayers and what goes on in a baseball players life on and off the field. This is a very funny book.

Whats this have to do with the Mets you may ask?

Well not much but it does have a funny quote from Roger Craig who played on the original '62 Mets. He was asked to throw out the ceremonial first pitch when the Mets were 25 years old as a franchise back in the late 80's. He goes on to say that " The Mets should have had the bases loaded, because every time I pitched for them, that's what happened"

Lots of good quotes in this book.
