DisgruntledMetsFan.com and SportsMemorabilia.com would like to congratulate Kevin McCarthy of Huntington for winning the David Wright Autographed Baseball and Display Case by being the first person to correctly answer our trivia question:

Mike Piazza hit the last New York Mets home run of the 20th Century.  Who was pitching when he hit the home run?

The correct answer was:

Denny Neagle

The home run came in game 4 of the 2000 World Series.

Contrary to popular belief, the 20th Century ended on Dec. 31 2000.  A lot of people answered with John Smoltz, who gave up the Mets last home run in the NLCS in 1999, coincidentally to Mike Piazza.

You may have heard about the Modell’s Mets Fan Contest, where two Mets fans would be selected to represent us all in the Mo’s Zone section leading the cheers.  The lucky winners, chosen at the Queen Center Mall are both die-hard Mets fans.

The winners were:
Sal Candiano from Freeport, NY (left)
Roger Kowalski from Maspeth, NY (right)

Judges included:

Matthew Artus from Always Amazin’
Adam Salazar from BrooklynMetFan.com
Eddie Boison aka “Cow-Bell Man”

I am happy to say that I have had the good fortune to share a section with one of the winners, Roger Kowalski, two seasons ago in Section 18 at Shea.  We were both Sunday season ticket holders, and he is nothing if he’s not entertaining.  Kowalski, as he was called by the fans in the section, is the perfect person to get the crowd going.  He has the intensity of a professional wrestler, and the voice to back it up.  I always felt like I was watching Wrestlemania as he would stand up in the front row, turn back to the crowd, put his arms up and start screaming with the type of fire you wish the Mets would show.  Sure he’s two years older now, but hopefully he’s still in his prime.  Modell’s,. Roger Kowalski will not let you down.  If anyone out there knows Roger, please forward him this post as I would love to ask him a few questions.
Let’s Go Mets!

Robert Chung of Boston Massachusetts, our first contest winner, was kind enough to send in some pictures of his prize.  I would like to thank all that participated, and Sportsmemorabilia.com for sponsoring.  Hopefully this was the first of many special offers we can provide on disgruntledmetsfan.com.

Disgruntledmetsfan.com and Sportsmemorabilia.com would like to congratulate Rob Chung of Boston Massachusettes for winning our “Glory Days Prize Pack” giveaway.  I received Rob’s email at 2:03 with the correct answer.  He was the first of many readers to respond and I thank you all for doing so.  Hopefully this will be the first of many giveaways we can offer Mets fans everywhere.

Let’s Go Mets.
