Michael Lecolant
I live, work, and play, in Brooklyn. I am a U.S. Army Veteran; a Husband; and a Father. I coached Little League for 10 great years. I am you. My name is Mike. And I am a Mets Fan. I’m a self-proclaimed pragmatist. But that’s ultimately for you to decide. My promise is to give you my best effort in presenting engaging METerial. I claim to have total Mets recall since about the 1974-75 seasons or so. I know I’ll have to tap into many of those memories to touch a chord or two along the way. Like me or loathe me, I’d love to interact with you through comments and social media. You can find me on Twitter. I am also the author of my own personal blog - theBrooklynTrolleyBlogger.blogspot.com
