Mets Catcher Schneider Meets Mets Hall of Famer.


So far the joruney that Mets catcher Brian Schneider has taken as a Met as not been a great one. When he was traded to the Mets everyone included Mets announcer Gary Cohen raved about his catching abilities. I always thought it was funny that Gary would mention this right before Brian would have a passed ball charged to him last year. I am not sure if the bright lights are a bit much for the Mets catcher but I thought this was a nice story on a day where there is not alot of news coming out of Mets camp.


In this story Schneider recalls vintage adventure that is told to Marty Noble it seems last year after he found out he was traded he was taken winery tours and HOF pitcher Don Sutton told Brian to check out the winery and asked for George Thomas. Of course it did not click with Brian that the George Thomas was Mets great and HOF Tom Seaver. Well I am sure they enjoyed the day with Seaver of course telling Brian how great he was. Anyway it seems that that could be the highlight of his Met tenure . Maybe I will be wrong.
