This is what Jim Ross might call a slobberknocker. While perusing the internet trying to stumble upon anything interesting about past New York Mets teams, I happened upon Jeromy Burnitz. What’s so interesting about Burnitz? He reminds me of a much more recent member of the Mets, Jay Bruce.

These two have a lot in common.
