According to MLB.com, David Wright, Craig Biggio, Melky Cabrera, Jamal Crawford and Kristi Yamaguchi will be given the Thurman Munson Award for 
excellence in competition and philanthropic work within the community.
The awards will be presented at the Thurman Munson Awards Dinner at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City on Feb. 5.
Len Berman of NBC Sports will serve as the master of ceremonies.
…great, but will he be spanning the world…
Willie Randolph, Muhammad Ali, Patrick Ewing, Arthur Ashe, Mark Messier, Tom Seaver and John Franco, among many others, have all been given the same award in past years.
who knew giving away hot dogs could be so noteworthy…
Sweet another meaningless public recognition award for DWright.
Heres a thought…….win a ring. People will remember that longer. I promise.
Give the kid a break. If you want to blame someone I can give you a long list of players and management, but he wouldn’t be one of them.
Yeah, community involvement and using your fame to raise money to help others is totally meaningless.
Some guy had a post on here about feeling humiliated for paying another 50 cents at the garden for a footlong hotdog and that post is missing now. I know that it was slightly off-topic but seeing how there are only 3 posts in here did it really need to be deleted? Is this really where MetsBlog is headed? Soul-less fun-less “blog”? Add in the removal of the link to that blog tournament without as much as a thought of the people who might have wanted the site to win. Since this site has gone “big time” it’s lost something, and I know I can leave and go to another site (for Matt’s attack dogs that are frothing at the mouth) and I will, and I also know no-one will care as they shouldn’t, but that doesn’t change the fact that this site is slowly turning into METS.COM-lite.
Save the fun! The news here can be gotten anywhere and it’s mostly wrong anyway, the real fun is in the free for all that follows.
I’m not going to get into a whole thing here. As yo said, you don’t have to come here and you can go somewhere else and both of those thngs are your perogative.
However, I am confused by the ‘[news] is mostly wrong here’ idea. I’m not going to be some great defender of Matt but he doesn’t really *break* any news here. He mainly just reports what other media outlets are saying.
So, if you mean, ESPN is mostly wrong or SNY is mostly wrong, or MLB.com is mostly wrong or Newsday is mostly wrong, then I definitely get your point but I don’t see how Metsblog can ever really be *wrong.* It’s mostly just referencing pther people’s work.
Please excuse all typos…I guess I’m ready for the weekend.
Knick fans feel humiliated walking INTO the garden, so count your blessings!
