Finally, I get to write about something important: baseball. These are my "predictions" for the year. It was hard to pick the Mets, since I have followed them since I was 10, when their infield included Ed Kranepool, Ron Hunt, Ed Bressoud, and Ken Boyer, and their outfield had Cleon Jones and Ron Swoboda, and Al Luplow. Ron Hunt would have a good career; Ken Boyer was at the end of his. Jerry Grote was the catcher, who would prove his game-calling and defensive abilities once Tom Seaver and Jerry Koosman would join the staff a couple of years later. Their big pitcher that year was Dennis Ribant. Yes, household names, all of them. This year the Mets have bought a good team and should be fun to watch. They're in the division with the Atlanta Braves who have had 14 straight years of "they'll never win the division this year" and always do.
