Rusty really was quite a well rounded player/athlete in his earlier days. A lot of people only remember him toward the end as that large redhead that could PH really well, but ran like grandma!

Rusty got me in big trouble last year with the core.

As for MetsBlog, they probably will not pay much attention to the Rusty event until he says something interesting then they will post/write about it and not give the author or website any credit for the question. I hear that happens on Rusty calls sometimes.

I think I just laughed for the first time in two days.

You know I wonder if you titled the post “Join Us For A Moneyball Sabermetric Google Hangout With Rusty Staub” would those additional words have generated way more retweets? Seems like all it takes sometimes is adding certain buzz words in a title.

I don’t know. Rusty and Robert both asked me to try and reach out to as many fellow Mets sites as I could. I tweeted MetsBlog, the Beat Writers, and plan to reach out to some Mets Sites later this evening.

But let me put it this way, the Stanton article got 272 reactions, and the only reactions to Rusty and his Charity event amounted to 3 retweets from Rich Couthino, Mets Police and Mark Healey.

That said, it’s only been like 4 hours this has been live. So as Rusty Staub would agree, Ya Gotta Believe in Mets fans!

I was your first Twitter like Joe, This is a great idea and I hope for it’s success. I Iost my uncle in the line of duty in 1996. I know the trauma it caused our family and it never really heals.
