Billy Beane? Oakland GM Billy Beane? Am I right on this one?

During a Saturday afternoon Met loss to the Dodgers in 1985, I was sitting in loge (section 21) when someone yelled out "BILLY BEANE!" The Mets were in a mini-slump at the time and I guess this person thought if Beane was called up, the Mets would get back in the race. Well, the Mets were playing so uncharacteristically bad this game that I thought they needed someone even more powerful. So I yelled out, "HULK HOGAN!" Soon, everyone was yelling a wrestler's name, including Kamala the Ugandan Headhunter. Everyone laughed.

Billy Beane may not have done much with the Mets as a player, but he sure served as the catalyst in turning a bad day at Shea into a somewhat good one.

Mr. Moneyball fired Art Howe after three postseasons in a row. Then we hired Art and... you know. Some wags have chortled that Beane knew what he was doing in letting Howe go, while the Mets were suckers yet again. But until Beane's A's win a pennant without Howe, I won't be inclined to call Beane the genius and Howe the figurehead.
