Rest in Peace, Blue: Remembering the Man Behind the Mask, Bruce Froemming At Kiner’s Korner we usually remember the men in uniform who swung the bats, toed the rubber, or chased fly balls into the gap. Today we remember the man in uniform who made sure they did it honestly,...

Unfortunately seems like writing more and more In Memoriam pieces these days. #RIPBRUCEFROEMMING www.kinerskorner.com/post/rest-in...

Mets Spring Training Day 5: Chess Matches, 115 Off the Bat, and a Clubhouse That Feels Different Spring Training has a rhythm to it. The crack of the bat. The thud of a fastball into leather. The hum of golf carts. And apparently… the gentle click of chess pieces.Day 5 began in the clubhouse, and...

Why No Team Has Ever Meant More to Me Than the ’80 U.S. Hockey Squad I have been extraordinarily lucky in my life as a sports fan and I say that fully aware that luck in sports fandom usually means willingly signing up for decades of emotional trauma interrupted by br...

Interesting #MetsSky #Trivia Question, should Grae Kessinger make the #Mets, he will be the third relative of a 1969 #Cubs to play for the Mets, who are the other 2 and what is the relationship ?

A Touch of Grae: When a Kessinger Joins the Mets, Even the Black Cat Purrs Some transactions exist purely to help a Triple-A roster survive the dog days. Others exist to give a manager a spring training body who can play short, second, third, and probably sell peanuts if nee...

A Touch of Grae and a whole lot of baseball history.
The #Mets minor league signing of Grae Kessinger is more than spring training depth. It’s a full-circle nod to 1969, the #Cubs, Don's place in one of the greatest pennant races ever. #MetsSky

Kimbrel in the Mix: Did the Mets add Bullpen Depth or Just Bull? There was a time when Craig Kimbrel entered a baseball game and opposing hitters immediately started thinking about their families. They wondered if they had said I love you enough. They wondered if t...

The #mets are giving Craig Kimbrel a shot , and the Mets bullpen may have gotten just got a little more terrifying, but I say lets not stop there, 2 more names that we know also should be brought into the competition read all about it. #MetsSKY www.kinerskorner.com/post/kimbrel...

Before There Was R A Dickey There Was Wilbur Wood Wilbur Wood never looked like a pitcher destined to be remembered. That may be the most fitting place to begin. He did not arrive early, he did not overwhelm hitters with power, and he did not follow ...

Wilbur Wood never followed the usual path to baseball greatness. From a single relief appearance against the #Mets in 1965 to becoming a knuckleball workhorse and #WhiteSox legend, his career was built on endurance, reinvention, and defying convention. #MetsSky www.kinerskorner.com/post/before-...
