Ruth Roberts, R. I. P.

LoHud.com: "Ruth Roberts, the songwriter who penned 'Meet the Mets,' died Friday at her home in the village. She was 84.

Recorded for the New York Mets after their inaugural season in 1962, 'Meet the Mets' was written as an upbeat fight song for the struggling young baseball team."

She also wrote "They Call Him Mr. Touchdown," among others.

I remember the lyrics to this day, even though I was a Yankees fan back then.
