Goodbye Royce and Heath. I guess the Mets roster will now read just a little less like a historical romance novel.

Dana,
It is funny you made a comment about their names. Today one of the customers in our store who is a Mets fan asked if there were any new trades, etc. I told him about Bell and Ring and he said almost the same thing. His comment was “what were baseball players doing with names like that?” LOL!
Vicki,
Well, baseball players, of course, often have striking or unusual names, but I really didn’t realize how unusual these two were until they were traded together. And they’re unusual in the same historical romance novel way (not that I’ve ever read a historical romance novel, but I have the impression that people have these decorous pseudo-English names in them). And then, how often have baseball teams ever traded a player named Ring together with a player named Bell? Weird!
I wish the team’s new stadium’s name sounded more like something from a Halberstam book and less like Business Week’s annual review of mutual funds (Middle Eastern sector investment.)
