Brian Joura – I grew up in Staten Island and went to the same high school that produced MLB pitchers Jason Marquis and Rich Scheid, who was in my homeroom class.
I followed Jim Valvano to North Carolina State. Previously, I’ve worked for Howe Sports Data, Street and Smith’s The Sports Business Daily and SportsTicker. Currently, I write for The News and Record, FantasyPros911.com and RotoGraphs but my favorite gig is being a dad to my two kids.
Following the Mets all of these years has produced some famous highs and lows. I’m still convinced the Mets won Game 6 of the 1986 World Series because I sat completely still on the couch throughout the comeback, afraid to move a single muscle in case I might jinx the comeback.
While most Mets fans point to June 15, 1977 as the worst day in history, I’ve always felt that October 22, 1974 was a bad one too. That’s when we dealt Duffy Dyer for Gene Clines. It still hurts.
Lee Andrew Henderson – I was born, raised and still live in Birmingham, Alabama. Everybody in my family except for me was born in Pittsburgh so I was nudged towards being a Pirates fan. But I rebeled and decided since I wasn’t from Pittsburgh I didn’t have to be a Pittsburgh fan.
