Picture Postcard: Baseball Season

24 May

May 24, 2016

I passed this planter as I walked down Ocean Parkway here in Brooklyn, towards Coney Island yesterday. It’s in front of a very large building that has nothing to do with baseball.

This is Brooklyn, however, and Brooklyn has a very well-documented baseball heritage. Click here to read about my own family connection to Sandy Koufax.

However, this particular planter has some history itself. It was a member of the 1986 World Champion New York Mets!

I’m not sure where that planter came from, but I  do have a sneaking suspicion.

Picture Postcard: Brooklyn Blizzard 2016

24 Jan

January 24, 2016

There is a huge blizzard hitting the east coast as I type this.  You might have heard this on the news. It is kind of a big deal. As of an hour ago, NYC already had over 27 inches of snow and it is still coming down. The Governor instituted a travel ban. Subways and buses shut down, stores closed. Everyone stay inside.

So of course I went outside and took pictures.

This is not me. Who would be taking the picture?

Out of the dozens of pictures I took, here are a few that I liked. Click on the thumbnails for bigger images. And thanks for looking.
