Ralph Kiner famously made this remark during his playing days in the 1940's.And while, i am not sure we would still use the Cadillac as the symbol of affluence and superstardom it is more than fitting that on the day Ralph Kiner is in the broadcast booth that The Mets hit three home runs.
Jeff Francoeur, David Wright, and Ike Davis combined for the home runs to help give The Mets a 6-0 victory over The Twins. Jon Niese pitched another gem giving The Mets the rubber game and another successful homestand.
Meanwhile back in the booth; the banter between Kiner and Gary and Keith is as entertaining as anything Seinfeld had to offer. Ralph's deadpan delivery and anecdotes are always enjoyable. When Keith harped about the hardships of west-coast travel, Ralph was quick to counter with train travel with no air conditioning. Kevin Burkhardt's "heavy" 34 oz. bat was rejoindered by Ralph's 42 oz. bat and Babe Ruth's 52 oz. bat!
Ralph Kiner is always a perfect foil to Gary, Keith, Ron, and Kevin and always a pleasure to hear.
