Mr. Blog's Tepid Ride

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!

Just kidding

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