They never made it to the promised land. What price did they pay, however? Next, in the wake of that game, Major League Baseball has changed its rules to includ...

For the fan in enemy territory. Thursday, February 16, 2012. Gary Carter: Losing the Kid Means Losing our Innocence. On Thursday February 16, 2012, the world of sports lost a legend and the society lost an example. Gary Carter was more than an athlete. He was a role model and he understood that. When he joined the New York Mets in 1985, he was already an established player in baseball. Gary Carter represents something different for every fan. To the Red Sox fan, he was the man that never gave up in t...

For the fan in enemy territory. Tuesday, April 17, 2012. New York Mets: It's Not a Marathon, It's a Season of Sprints. The baseball season is finally in full swing.

Four of the eight times this team has started with that record, they have made the playoffs. In a marathon, a runner gets bursts of energy throughout the competition and pulls ahead of those aroun...

For the fan in enemy territory. Sunday, January 15, 2012. Urban Sports Apparel: Fashion or Sacrilege? There is a trend in the the world of sports apparel that has been well on display for a few years now and has gone relatively unnoticed and unchecked. I don't know who started it. I don't know when it started. I just wish it would stop. I am referring to fashionable sports apparel. What does it say to the history of the team when a fan sports a brown Mets hat with a white logo? It seems to me it would lo...

For the fan in enemy territory. Sunday, January 29, 2012. Mets Fans: A Nation in Crisis.Again. The New York Mets fans are a proud people. They have to be. Their team has only won two World Series titles in 50 years and they only have one player inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame. They don't have as much to hold on to as fans of other franchises. As a Mets fan I can completely understand this logic; Be proud of what you have. Don't watch TV at all for the next three weeks? For Jets fans, one could ar...
