Author, Brett Topel Talks About New York Mets Firsts and Dansons, Julie Day Discusses Pit Boss Heroes while Chef Ray Sheehan Guest Co-hosts Brett Topel is a prolific author whose passion for his subjects comes through in all of his projects.  He returns to the show to discuss his latest book, New York Mets Firsts:  The Players, Moments, and Records That Were First in Team History.  In the more than sixty-year history of the New York Mets, there are many firsts, some more well known than others.  For example, the first Met pitcher to record a win at Shea Stadium (Al Jackson), the first Met to hit a homer at Citi Field (David Wright), the first Cy Young Award winner for the Mets (Tom Seaver), the first Met to pitch a no-hitter (Johan Santana).  However, Brett provides many Mets firsts that even the most ardent fan may not know, but will definitely love finding out Julie Day is the head of corporate responsibility for Dansons which is the the parent company of Pit Boss and Louisiana Grills.  She joins us to discuss the Pit Boss Heroes program.  The program is a continuation to help others as they try to give back to the people and communities who need and/or deserve it.  This program offers a 25% discount on all Pit Boss equipment and accessories to first responders and service men and women, past and present.  Per their website, "It is our way to say thank you for your sacrifice that allows all of us to live freely."  In addition to the discount they also recognize a Pit Boss Hero of the Month.  Chef Ray Sheehan joins us.  For more information on Dansons, Pit Boss, and the Pit Boss Heroes program go to https://pitboss-grills.com/heroes We conclude the show with the song, Baseball Always Brings You Home from the musician, Dave Dresser and the poet, Shel Krakofsky.
