Sunday was a full day. After spending the early morning in Plainville for the Hot Air Balloon Festival, I took my youngest to Bridgeport to see the Bluefish play against the Lancaster Barnstormers. We met up with Jesse from Milford Photo, and a few others from the meetup group. Jesse noted that he saw a lot of people wearing Met paraphernalia waiting to get in, and I couldn’t figure out why.
When the starting line-ups were announced, I saw that former Met Chris Schwinden was starting for Lancaster:
I doubted that was it.
There was even almost-but-never-was-Met Boof Bonser coming out of the bullpen:
That wasn’t it, either.
There was this announcement from the PA announcer just before the game, “To throw out the first pitch, please welcome former Major League great, Dwight Gooden”:
Didn’t see that one coming.
