One of my Favorite Players

I'm not sure if you know this, but I LOVE the NY Mets. I started watching them play in 2006, because all my friends in the city were huge fans, and I felt left out and pretty lonely when they were all watching games. So I cheered the Mets into the end of the season (and even went to Game 6 at Shea - http://bubu37.blogspot.com/2006/10/lets-go-mets.html) and drank my sorrows when they lost the NL Championship to the Cardinals.

Then in 2007 Sara took me, Kat & Christine to Meet the Mets!! I was still a Mets newbie, but it was pretty exciting. We met most of the players, but my favorite was Delgado. He was very nice, smiling at everyone, making sure every single person got an autograph and a picture.

And now he's retiring from baseball :( He's had a lot of surgeries in the last couple of years, and hasn't played a full season as a Met since 2008. But I've missed seeing him at first and now that he's retiring entirely I'll miss tracking what he's doing.

Here's an article about his retirement - http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110413&content_id=17721774&vkey=news_nym&c_id=nym&partnerId=rss_nym.
