Fool's Gold

Fool's Gold

Author: National League Town December 4, 2024 Duration: 51:02

We welcome Frankie Montas to the New York Mets. We welcome Jose Siri to the New York Mets. Given the chance, we will welcome Juan Soto to the New York Mets. The so-called “golden at-bat” Rob Manfred is reportedly buzzing about? We show that concept to the door.



There's a particular kind of passion that comes with following a team through decades of highs and lows, and that's the heart of National League Town. Hosted by Long Island's own Jeff Hysen, this podcast digs into what it truly means to live and breathe New York Mets baseball, far beyond the box scores. Each episode feels like a conversation among friends who have weathered the same storms and celebrated the same improbable victories. You'll hear stories that trace the team's unique place in the sport's history, from the beloved legends to the forgotten moments that only a dedicated fan would remember. This isn't just about analysis; it's about the shared experience of fandom, the personal connections to the team that are passed down through generations, and the daily life of a Mets supporter. Jeff brings a local's perspective and a historian's curiosity, whether he's revisiting a classic game, discussing the current season's emotional rollercoaster, or simply reflecting on what the team means to its community. Tune in for a thoughtful, often nostalgic, and always genuine look at the team from someone who gets it. For anyone who has ever felt that deep, complicated tie to the Mets, this podcast offers a familiar and welcoming voice.
