|  Why didn't Frank tell us about this?
From MetsBlog.com: Quote:
...posted by Regis Courtemanche...
In an article for the Kansas City Star, Donald Bradley pens an unbelievable story of a Shea Stadium vendor, Bobby Lee, who travels from Missouri to serve cotton candy at 60 games a year.
Bradley writes:
“He started when he was 16 and lived two subway stops from Shea. Now he’s 48 and lives halfway across the country.”
“Lee and his wife moved to the Kansas City area four years ago after he retired from the New York Fire Department as a 20-year veteran. The Sept. 11 attacks, which killed 343 firefighters at the World Trade Center, factored in. Bobby, an arson investigator, arrived in lower Manhattan just as the towers came down.”
…the definition of dedication…i felt i had to relay this story because at times like these, i can tend to get too involved in what needs to change about baseball or the Mets, but stories like these are humbling and keep things in perspective…
