The7line: Who Are You? A T7LA Member Profile

The folks over at The7line are doing something cool each week with a feature on a different T7LA member each week. This week it is Nick a CPA from Astoria.

There's a face behind every cheer. While the sea of orange and blue unites as one until the last pitch, everyone has lives outside of the ballpark confines. T7LA has brought together thousands of like minded fans since 2012, but baseball isn't our only purpose in life. Obviously, everyone needs a way to fund their fandom. We do have some retirees in the crew, but at least 9 out of every 10 fans has a day job. What is it? What do you do? How did you become a Mets fan? What are you hobbies? Who are you? 

Here’s our chance to get to know each other a little better. We want to showcase the variety of people who cheer with us—accountants, artists, teachers, nurses, lawyers, court officers, students, entrepreneurs, soldiers. Kind of amazing in itself.  We can’t wait to learn more about your Mets experiences and your life outside the game. 

To submit your story, read THIS. Each Tuesday until April we'll pick a different fan to highlight. 

Next up is a CPA named Nick from Astoria. He started cheering with us a few years ago, but we all got to know him better this past season. A friendly dude who's down for a good time. Right up our alley.

Piazza: New Book by Greg Prince

"Man, Goon is really doing a lot of Piazza stuff today." Great, you guys caught on today was a them day leading to this...

Greg Prince is one of the best writers around. I have enjoyed his books and his blog Faith and Fear In Flushing for a long time. If you love to read, love to read stuff written by a great writer and love Piazza, I am sure this book will be for you.


From Amazon.

A franchise and fan base in perpetual search of validation finally had its ticket punched as 2016 dawned. Mike Piazza, who held records in one hand and a city’s rapt attention in the other, gained election to the Hall of Fame. Within weeks of this long-awaited announcement, the ballclub with whom he chose to cast his eternal lot, the New York Mets, made a date to retire his number.
In Piazza: Catcher, Slugger, Icon, Star, Greg W. Prince—cocreator of Faith and Fear in Flushing, “the blog for Mets fans who like to read,” and author of Amazin’ Again, the story of the 2015 National League champions—explores the parallel paths Piazza and the Mets set out on in the early 1990s and how their individual journeys merged into a mutual quest for transcendence. From marriage of convenience to lifetime bond to a state of baseball grace reached only once before in team history, Piazza examines how the stranger from Los Angeles became New York’s favorite son and why Mets fans continued to rally to Piazza’s cause years after he took his final swing for them.
