The New York Mets inducted John Franco into the team’s Hall of Fame last night, then went on to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1. They’re now in a three-way tie for first place, percentage points behind the Washington Nationals.
Thanks to ESPN and my own stubborn desire to stay for the last out if at all possible, I’m very tired this morning.
(By the way, is it just me, or is John Franco’s plaque not really the best likeness?)
Mets in a three-way tie for first? In June? Gotta love it. And you’re right, the Franco plaque looks nothing like Franco.
I also stayed till the last out (11:08 PM). The ESPN game is unfair to fans in the eastern time zone. How about a compromise, start the game at 7:10 PM.
