Comments on: METS: Johnny Franco’s in camp http://www.gettingpaidtowatch.com/2009/03/10/mets-johnny-francos-in-camp/ Politics, Education, Culture, and oh....the Mets. A former athletic trainer for the NY Mets, the writer still follows his team while offering his own unique outlook on politics. A life long GOP conservative, this high school teacher has departed from his party roots and takes issue with the Florida GOP's legislative agenda on education. Recent favorite topics involve Florida's controversial education reform bill SB 6, local efforts to defeat Allen Boyd (D) FLA 2nd and the Florida Senate race.

It was a Friday night, I believe it was May 6th or 7th of 1988. They brought in Franco and on the first pitch Straw drilled a ball that never went more than 30 feet off the ground. It seemed to hit the scoreboard in 3 seconds. I along with Mex were the first people to homeplate. Keith grabbed me around the neck and yelled above the roar of the crowd, "that is a big league f-ing win right there." As Straw arrived at homeplate we all went down for the low five. Being on the field that year is a blur but that is a moment I remember vividly!!
