This guy's 4 seam fastball clocks at 87 mph, per ESPN Gameday.

That was Timmeh's speed when he became a batting practice pitcher. WTF?

Timmeh was never a pitcher, though. Once he was unable to throw, his career was over.

I am flying into La Guardia, stashing my carry-on, and then walking to Citi Field to see the Mets. Then picking up my luggage and on into Manhattan to stay with my friend. First time in NYC. Looking forward to seeing the 9/11 memorial, and Coogan's Bluff (old Polo Grounds), Brooklyn Bridge, Wall Street, etc.

If you have time, don’t skip out on Ellis Island. It is worth it. And you even get a nice little boat ride to go with it.

I recommend you go as early as possible, though. I went about 5 years ago and we got on a boat at about 8:30 with no line. By the time we got back to the mainland at about 1:PM, the wait for a boat was about 3 hours.
