Ok, so why does WIllie wear #12? Is it just because that was his number with the Mets the one year he played there? He looks so, um, weird to me without #30 on his jersey.

[Nanner]

Hmmm. Good question. I knew the answer at one point, but it got lost in my brain somewhere. :notme:

http://www.mbtn.net/11-20.htm Willie wore # http://www.mbtn.net/12.gif with the Mets in 1992, and when he came back to manage in 2005.

Willie wore # 30 with the Yankees.

[Nanner]

Well, there you go! :thumbsup:

[PopTop]

Thanks, Gary. Didn't really know what # he was with the Mets before I looked it up today thinking about it. It still looks weird to me, not being 30, but maybe it will grow on me.

It's nice that they can laugh. That's an important part of their game. :)

Nan, are you going tomorrow??

Nan, are you going tomorrow??

Nope. Don't have tickets, and can't afford it anyway.

I did, however, win a chance to buy tickets on that lottery, and the only one both Cyn and I could go to was Game 7. So, that's the one we're going to.

On one hand, I'm hoping it doesn't go to 7 games, but on the other hand, it would be really exciting. :eek: :jump: :cheer:
