Sherman NY Post: Mets, Kumar Rocker have understanding in place for contract.
The Mets and their No. 1 pick Kumar Rocker already have an understanding in
place for a $6 million signing bonus, sources told The Post…Rocker was
available with the No. 10 pick and the Mets agreed to go beyond the slot
recommendation of $4.74 million. ‘It was about a war to get him down [to 10th]
because we felt the Mets were a good pick for him and a good environment,’
Scott Boras, Rocker’s agent, told The Post.”

Today in Mets History Per Ultimatemets.com:
- Jack Aker (1940)
- Mike Fitzgerald (1960)
1977 | With New York third baseman Lenny Randle at the plate in the sixth inning, Shea Stadium goes dark when the Big Apple suddenly experiences a blackout. Before the game against the Cubs is suspended due to the power shortage, the Mets' players drive their cars onto the field and amuse the crowd by performing a variety of antics in front of the headlights. (My thanks to Anthony Ventarola for submitting this event). |
