So I did this Q&A thing with the top New York Mets blog creatively called MetsBlog. They're doing a series of Q&A's at the beginning of each series this year with a blogger from the opposing team, and I was chosen this time around for the Braves. You can read it here.

(3) The worst gimmick in all of baseball is a papier-mâché apple that comes out of a hat every time the home team hits a homerun.
Oh well. To all those Braves fans out there, stay cocky. To all those Mets fans out there, Larry Wayne Jones.
