Bruce's Journal

Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

Random Thoughts at the End of November

I felt I need a little time off from social networking to attend to a health issue. I am OK, but not 100%. I would rather not discuss health issues in a public forum. I have not met most of my Facebook friends and don't feel comfortable revealing health problems to strangers.

So the Mets are paying Max Scherzer $140 Million over 3 years. I am just afraid that at age 38 his best years are behind him. Pedro Martinez signed a 4 year deal with the Mets and only had one good season. Likewise, Bret Saberhagen at the end of his career did not perform for the Mets.

So Javier Baez signed with the Detroit Tigers. Will Pete Crow-Armstrong become a superstar for the Cubs? Will Robinson Cano or Jeff McNeil win the second base job?
