Sandy Koufax signing baseballs : Last week with no games being played.

What I would give to be one of those lucky fans down in Florida right now that were fortunate enough to get a signed baseball from Koufax who is the Mets camp chatting it up with the Mets brass as well as assisting the pitching staff.

Now I was not around to see Koufax pitch but he is like that player that everyone still puts on a pedestal even after over 30 years have past since he pitched. John Maine and Oliver Perez today were getting words of advice from the HOF. Hopefully Perez comprehends what Koufax is saying and is able to put it too use. It is a new year we can hope right?

The Mets play there first game next Tuesday in spring training. It is about time! The winter is long enough and of course its great to know these guys are throwing the ball around but it really starts sinking in that opening day is around the corner when they start actually playing games. The Mets will then embark on playing games for the next 31 weeks!

Of course that will be plenty of enough time for Mets fans to get there fill of ups,downs, frustrations,elation's,Jerryisms, Omarisms and hopefully a couple of new Reyesisms!!!!!!!
