I remember the first day Brantley was hired, he looked like a genious as the Mets bombed the Yanks!!!

Just look at the Mets offensive numbers and winning percentage while Brantley was hitting instructor compared to before and since. The numbers speak for themselves. Valentine was not happy when Phillips abruptley replaced one of Valentine's "boys" with Brantley in the middle of the 1999 season. Phillips used Brantley as a bargaining chip with Valentine after the '99 season. Brantley was replaced with another of Valentine's "boys". This is only one example of why the Yankees will always outclass and out win the Mets. The Yankees reward successful members of their organization while the Mets have a GM and Manager who are both willing to sacrifice what's best for the team and what is "right" in order to stroke their own egos and to increase their power within the organization

The numbers don't lie: the 1999 Mets hit better after Brantley replaced Tom Robson. Then he was gone, and has yet to resurface. He was not a Bobby V. guy, nor was he part of Art Howe's Astros' fraternity. I hope the Mets give him another chance some day.

Mickey has always been a class act. Way back when we were all in High School you knew Mickey was going to go places. He was just a natural gifted athlete. Knowing Mickey's family as I did it was easy to see where such a fine young man came from. Mickey will always be someone I consider a friend and the best thing to come out of Catskill as an professional athlete.

I was a classmate of Mickey Brantley at Coastal Carolina. We were in a computer class together. Towards Christmas break, Mickey would write and attempt to sell computer programs to make enough money to travel home. He was a very determined and friendly young man. Glad to know that he is enjoying a successful career.

A little known fact about Mickey is he is a heck of a fisherman. I first met him while flounder fishing in Sebastian Inlet, Florida. It was some time in the fall in the mid 90's. He seems to have a honey hole there! Most people fishing around him had a few flounder, while Mickey seemed to limit out! Every year the same thing. This year, 2008, I had 3 flounder and was singing my praises.(Everybody else had maybe one.) I went to clean my fish and there was Mickey with his limit and his son had his! Mickey can hit, Mickey can teach men to hit AND Mickey catches fish. And he's one hell of a nice guy! Good luck in all you do MICKEY!
