I stopped by Jade last night for dinner. I was surprised to see two NY Mets there. One was dining with his family and kids. Another, was sitting near my table dining by himself. The place was pretty empty considering it was Monday and the weather.so I started to make some small talk with the player sitting alone. He was quite friendly and talkative. He said the Mets flew in from LA and got home well after midnight Sunday night. Yesterday was their off day. Interesting enough, he said there were 4 NY Mets living in Forest Hills Gardens. He said 1 owns a home, the one I saw dining with his family, one rents an entire home and the other 2 are in co-op apartments. He said Forest Hills Gardens is such a draw because of its proximity to Shea and the fact that we have private parking on the streets. I didn't get any autographs, I'm sure they are asked enough for those but it was nice to know the NY Mets have a presence in Forest Hills Gardens.
