George Linzer Specializes in throwing, catching, fielding Email: [email protected] George Linzer is a native of North Tarrytown, NY (now Sleepy Hollow) and natural Mets fan who’s favorite players were shortstop Bud Harrelson, pitcher Tom Seaver, and the Reds’ “Charlie Hustle” (Pete Rose). He has been an Arlington resident for more than 25 years and now roots for the hometown Nationals. He played shortstop and pitched through high school, and won several individual awards, including MVP of the junior division at a Ted Williams Baseball Camp in Massachusetts and the following year, an award for most hustle in the senior division (16-18 years old). After playing a year of JV ball at Dartmouth College, he chose to study abroad and focus on his academics. He played shortstop for several fastpitch and slow pitch softball teams over 25 years and played short and pitched in adult baseball for several seasons. George coached Babe Ruth Baseball and Sage teams for 15 years, served as an AGSA Player Development Coach, and continues to provide individual instruction. Several of the Sage players he’s coached went on to play in college, including his daughter, Isabel, who played four years of varsity shortstop for Wesleyan University, where she finished with 118 hits and the #10 rank in the school’s 100-hit club. Isabel has also coached with AGSA and Sage. While George specializes in throwing, catching, and fielding, he likes to point out that the essential mechanics of hitting and throwing are nearly identical. Learning to throw well provides a strong foundation for learning to hit. .

Innovative Lessons from the Miracle Mets of 1969: Part 3 of 3 March 17, 2020 | Written By: Len Ferman
Published in General Innovative Lessons from the Miracle Mets of 1969: Part 3 of 3 March 17, 2020 | Written by: Len Ferman This is the final post in a 3 part series. Read the first two parts: Part 1 | Part 2 How the Worst Team in Baseball History Innovated to Win the World Series 50 Years Ago The New York Mets of 1969 The New York Mets baseball club of 1969 has come to be known as simply the Miracle Mets. The story of that club is perhaps the closest that major league baseball, or for that matter all of professional sports, has ever come to producing a true to life fairy tale. From Worst to First The Mets first season in 1962 was a record setting campaign in futility. The Mets lost 120 of their 160 games. No major league baseball team before or since has come close to losing that many games. And the losing didn’t stop there. From 1962 – 1968 the Mets lost an average of 105 games per year as they finished in last or second to last place every year. Then, in a stunning reversal of fortune, in that miracle year of 1969, when men first landed on the moon, the Mets won 100 games and won the World Series. The Players Credit Their Manager The players on the 1969 Mets all gave the credit for the amazing turnaround to their manager Gil Hodges. “We were managed by an infallible genius[i]”, said Tom Seaver, the club’s young star pitcher. And leading batter on the team, Clean Jones said, “If we had been managed by anybody else, we wouldn’t have won.

Literature, the NY Mets, and the Tug of Baseball
Judy Johnson, Hall of Fame 1975. “Sure-handed third baseman from the sandlots of Delaware . key player in the Negro Leagues . good instinctive base- runner . line drive hitter with an excellent batting eye . a smart, soft-spoken and well-respected player," an athlete whose intelligence set him apart. If I were a professional ballplayer, these are attributes I'd hope to display. William Julius Johnson. Judy. What an honor to bear his name. But I’m not that Judy Johnson. I’m an English teacher, ordinary fan, mother of three children who love baseball. One of those kids slept peacefully in my arms on a long escalator ride to the top of Candlestick Park in August 1986. My firstborn son was six weeks old, and I had to show him the game, and the visiting team. I had to show him my Mets. Three summers later we sat in 95-degree heat, 8 rows from the tippy top of Shea Stadium, all sticky with Dove Bar and beer. My boy was with me on the night that Number 8 kept Game 6 alive. When it was all over, I jumped up and down on the bed - “They won! The Mets won!” - and twirled my baby around the room, screaming, “I can’t believe they won!” A few months later that tiny child spoke one of his first words: Mookie. I cannot boast vast quantities of baseball knowledge or memorabilia, but a few Mets items have taken up residence in my home: a plastic chip-and-dip plate in the shape of a baseball glove molded in orange and royal blue.
