The other day Peter and I were talking about various things and among the topics covered were the Long Island Ducks which are an Atlantic League team much closer to our house than the Mets are. We typically go to a couple of games. Tickets are 10 to 15 dollars and you get to see the old greats and the up and comers. Playing for the Ducks gives one a great chance of being seen by the New York scouts among other leagues. <\/p>\n

Last night we went to a game. The give-away was a baseball being sponsored by the hospital where Caroline was born. Ariel won the guess the attendance contest. Caroline hugged Quackerjack and got a baseball signed by Buddy Harrelson (69 Mets).

Today Peter and Caroline are off to see the Mets play the Rockies thanks to a family friend who can\u2019t use his tickets today and offered them to us. It\u2019s an early game (noon) so Peter will be home for bowling.<\/p>\n
