Lead blogger – Adam Garnett

I’ve now spent almost 10 years on the NY sports media scene covering all sorts of events and teams. Nothing gives me more of  jump (and sometimes a stomach ache) than when I get a chance to follow my New York Mets. Having bled orange and blue for this team for over 25 years allows me the ability to put heartfelt and critical opinions on RisingApple for you the fans to agree with or counter. These days, thanks to my current position at NY1 News, I am afforded the opportunity to attend 40-50 Mets games a year and get a taste of this team from outside the white lines. I hope to bring some of this inside insight to you through the blog. Hop aboard and keep coming back. Thanks

I have been a die hard New York Mets fan ever since i was young.  I have grown up with the Mets.  I have seen some of the Mets greatest, and not so great moments.  From the 1999 Grand Slam single, to the very disappointing 2000 World Series defeat to those Yankees, to the 2006 NLCS leaping wall grab by Endy Chavez .   Like Adam said, “having bled the blue and orange” for around a decade, i will try to the best of my ability, to put heartfelt, and opinionated articles on this site that you may or may not agree with.  I will do my best with my writing ability, and baseball terminology to make my articles enjoyable to read.   If you guys want to get updates on the blog, or read what’s on my mind, you can follow me on Twitter.   Thanks and enjoy the blog!
