TECHNICIAN
The Fall of’99 When you’re a New York Mets fan, and you’re approaching the playoffs, 95 percent of the time you’re either looking to the future or remembering the past. The other 5 percent, you’re wondering how in the name of Darryl Strawberry the team ever made the playoffs, what with their inherent drug ’ ' problems, a sta— gndtrew 3' dium uglier than in which it lies and the obvious New York bias toward the Yankees. Forever the ugly stepchild of New York, being a Mets fan isn’t easy. Just ask John Rocker. Since his time as a Mets fan —— he became one not long after finding his way out of baseball —- he’s had to endure all the hardships: riding to Shea Stadium on the No. 7 train, tolerating all the single mothers and purple-headed freaks and even the minorities. They even let people of color inside Shea Stadium, which drive some Rocker—types bonkers. What makes it all worse is this fact: the Mets stink worse than a refrigerator in a frat house.
