There was a word that kept popping up around the Mets on Monday, even when nobody was actually saying it. Earned. Not given. Not handed out because there happens to be an empty chair. Not awarded because somebody in the front office needs to see what a kid can do before the season ends. Earned. And listening to Mets manager Andy Green and president of baseball operations David Stearns speak…

There are certain names in baseball that become bigger than the players themselves. Tommy John was one of them. His name became part of the baseball vocabulary, attached forever to a surgical procedure that has allowed thousands of pitchers including both starters in today's Mets game, to return to the mound after what once would have been a career-ending injury. But before there was “Tommy John…
Last week, we remembered Joe Ginsberg, the first Jewish player to wear a Mets uniform. Ginsberg's Mets career lasted exactly two games, but one of them happened to be the first home opener in franchise history. Sometimes you don't need a long Mets career to leave a permanent footprint. This week, we're going back to 1975 and a pitcher who came considerably closer to becoming a Mets legend. His…

There are baseball players you cover. There are players you interview. And then there are players you get to know. Butch Huskey was one of those players for me.

I got to know him through Mets Fantasy Camp,…
