Phil's Bio

My name is Phil Hoops. I am a die hard New York Mets fan, who enjoys watching and writing about the ball club. I currently write for Dominick DiFucci's blog, Dom D's Mets Fan Blog, as well as Mets Merized Online. I would definitely recommend checking out both sites, as from time to time I post exclusive articles there that are not found anywhere else. Feedback is greatly appreciated.

For all of those out there who say baseball should have a salary cap, prepare to have some knowledge dropped on you.

I thought you might like this piece. It’s a personal look back at the Florida Marlins incredibly shocking upset of the New York Yankees in the 2003 World Series.
