Memories, Like the?corners?of?my mind ???Misty water-colored?memories?Of the way we were ?
Chipper Jones makes his final trip to New York to play the Mets this weekend. ?I?m seriously wondering how the reception is going to go. On the one hand there is probably no player as hated by Mets fans over the past 20 years ? and Jones has never shied from taunting them ? but there also tends to be this whole grudging respect thing that happens to old adversaries.
If I had to guess, I?d say it?ll be three days of merciless ?LARRY!? taunts, followed by a nice but not necessarily enthusiastic ovation at the end of Sunday?s game. ?As for the gift the Mets will give him ? because apparently every team is required to do this for reasons that elude me ? I would suggest a paternity test, so that Mets fans might, once and for all, accept that Chipper is their daddy.
Anyway, Dave O?Brien has a nice piece up over at the AJC today walking us back through the Chipper-Mets memories. ?Reminding us ? as so many people I talk to seem to have forgotten ? that the mammo four-Chipper-yicketty sweep of the Mets by the Braves in September 1999 took place in Atlanta, not Shea Stadium. ?I bet if you asked 100 Braves and Mets fans about that, most would say it happened in New York, such is the legend by now.
