Congratulations Ike On Your First Home Run!

Congratulations to Ike Davis on his first Major League home run!
The rookie first baseman hit his first major-league home run tonight, and boy was it something to behold! It was a long drive into the Shea Bridge in right-center field in the fifth inning against the Braves and tied the game 1-1 at the time.
The blast was estimated at 440 feet, wow!

Went to my first Mets game, a Mayors Trophy game at Shea, in '73. We beat the Yankees 8-4 and I was hooked. I marched in two Banner Day parades, and before the Grand Slam single, there was the "Hendu Can Do" grand slam - I was there. I've collected Mets memorabilia all my life and started Mets Merized Online to feed my addiction.

hope this is the first of many. i hope ike keeps it up and takes 1st base for good. sorry murphy but youre forgotten already.
Newbie as he might be I, one of many who said he needs to more seasoning in AAA, am jumping on the Davis bandwagon. He is a breath of fresh air, he breaks up the predominant RH hitting lineup of the Mets and when Carlos, praying for his healthy return, we will have a lineup loaded RH/LH all the way to the 8 hole. I am happy about his defense so far and the stability that a ROOKIE, that’s right a rookie, brings to the lineup.
I see Bay and Jose plus David soon getting on a role and with Johan, Pelf,Niese and maybe Ollie becoming consistent then a match for other teams.
What a bomb!!!!
Man, if only we had an up and coming second baseman to get excited like this I’ll be celebrating!!!
Wright, reyes, 2B and ike … sigh! One can only dream
