Love the picture! That was back in the days that fans could run onto the field. So a quick hug, really quick, and then they had to escape into the dugout, and then the locker room!
I still think back to that season. Ed had the glove to stop the other team and the heart to lead the Mets.
Mets up 3-1 against Baltimore, American League powerhouse. The Today Show back when it was watchable had on the Mets’ pitchers’s wives. Seaver and Gentry’s wives were two whom I remember. The interviewer asked if the Mets were going back to Baltimore for game 6 & 7? Tom Seaver’s wife immediately said, “no they weren’ going back to Baltimore, they were going to win it today in front of their fans,”. I knew right then Baltimore was road kill.
Ed Charles part of a wonderful time of my life. Thank you Ed.
