Description
From 'DA's New York Accent' (Subscribe Here): Few Mets players have garnered 105 games played and had the lasting impact of George Theodore. He was nicknamed "The Stork," befitting his 6'5" frame, and became a fan favorite over two seasons in '73 and '74. Theodore discusses his eccentric personality, and "clubbing" in '70s NYC. He talks about what he learned from, and why he wishes he had more time with Yogi Berra and Willie Mays. George remembers the Buddy Harrelson vs. Pete Rose brawl in the NLCS and his emotional state when he was injured for the season in a nasty collision with a teammate. Theodore also has fought for an MLB pension for years and discusses the battle for many players of that generation.
