VintageTube: Spider-Man, Shea Stadium and Morgan Freeman
Big League Stew — I never knew he was such a fan of the cartoon ink, but Rich over at Home Run Derby has an excellent follow-up to last week's comic cover for Sports Illustrated. If you've ever wanted to see Superman, Batman or even Wonder Woman swinging a Louisville Slugger, there are apparently a number of issues out there that will fulfill that need. Rich has the scanned evidence. But HR Derby's best gem is the following video, which somehow blends Spider-Man, Shea Stadium and a still-looking-for-a-paycheck-let-alone-his-big-break Morgan Freeman into perhaps one of the ...

Morgan Freeman for Manager Campaign
It's Mets For Me: Off-Beat, Tangentially Relevant Mets Ruminations — ... Freeman has the presence. He has the wisdom. He has the visibility. He'll give dynamite press conferences. As a minority candidate, he'll appeal to the Wilpons. He knows the rule book and is unafraid to level fines. And, he can be pretty stupid when he wants to be. 'Nuff Said! Check out this video and see if you don't agree with me. Tipped off here, I swiped this video from here. As the video documents, left field has always been a problem spot for the Mets, even when Danny ...
