Renegades at Cyclones, Sidd Finch....

Last night was Game 34 on the season for me. I watched the Hudson Valley Renegades play the Cyclones. It was game 3 of a 3 game home at home series with the Cyclones getting the 1st and 3rd game of the 3 at home.
The Cyclones also held a 30th anniverary of Sidd Finch night in which they gave out Sidd Finch bobbleheads.
For those who are not familiar with the story of Sidd Finch, 
Sidd Finch was a fictional baseball player made up by a writer for Sports Illustraded back in 1985. George Plimpton was the writer. The story was meant as an April Fools Joke. Sidd Finch was this pitcher who was supposed to be able to throw a ball up to 168 mph. Sidd was to play for the Mets
Joe Berton,  AKA Sidd Finch posed for pictures that appeared in SI. 
Joe Berton appeared at the stadium and threw out the first pitch and then signed autographs on the concourse during the game. 
I had Berton signed the base of the bobblehead and then a OMLB in which he signed his real name and then Sidd Finch.


The Mets also brought 2015 2nd rd pick Desmond Lindsey up from GCL today. I had nothing for him but a NY-Penn League GU ball I had gotten earlier in the season.
Desmond was the Mets 2nd rd pick this season and since the Mets gave up the 1st rd pick to sign Mike Cuddyer, Desmond was the Mets Top Pick for 2015.
