Forever A Kid
All day yesterday I was thinking of new beginnings.

The Curse of Keith Hernandez?
Marty Noble’s latest column on MLB.com discusses the possibility of the curse of Keith Hernandez. The idea was posed to him by one of his readers and is based on the Mets dismal final 17 games over the past three seasons (19-32). But Hernandez denies such a curse exists.
