The Greatest Pants In New York Mets History

For this edition of Gum Stain Saturdays, we take a look at a card I pulled from a pack of 2010 Topps Series 1 this week.  I thought I had every insert card there was but then I found this one. 

Andrew over at Sports Card Forum confirmed that this is a short print parallel card printed as part of the tales of the game series.   The card celebrates the greatest pair of pants to ever wear a Mets player. 

Little is known about the origins of Lee Mazzilli's pants.  There are many theories.  Some believe they were struck by lightning while in the factory.  Others believe they are some kind of alien symbiote that fell to Earth and sought out Mazzilli in the same way Spider Man got his black suit.

What we do know is that no one had ever worn them tighter before and no one has since. 

All articles featured on The Apple are fictitious. No Mets were harmed in the writing of this story.  For real Baseball Card info check out www.sportscardforum.com
