tp49 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 My favorite Ralph Kiner moments were when during Mets telecasts he would break out such lines as "When I dated Marilyn Monroe.."Imagine what kind of career numbers he would have had if his back issues hadn't caused him to retire after only 10 years.

pittsburghsports16 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I heard stories that Pittsburgh fans would wait around, even when the team was playing poorly, just to see one last at-bat by Kiner because they thought that he could make magic happen at any time. The Mets, Pirates, the whole baseball world, and this country lost a great man today. R.I.P. Ralph Kiner. You will always be remembered here in Pittsburgh for your style of play, and serving both your country and the baseball world through grace and excellence. Thanks for giving my grandfather and many others such amazing memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmm Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 It was always a pleasure to listen to Ralph, even these last few years when he had a problem speaking clearly because of Bell's Palsy. He was a great storyteller and brought out the best in Tim McCarver back in the day. I also always got a kick out of his Kinerisms:-It's Father's Day, so to all you dads, happy birthday.-Welcome to Kiner's Korner. I'm Ralph Korner.-All of his saves have come in relief.RIP Ralph.

Needschat Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 We didn't get cable until I was 1, and the first thing we saw was a Mets game. The Kiner's Korners were great! Oh what could have been.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmeadowlanders Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 It's a shame most of the tapes of Kiner's Korner were destroyed. I'd watch a ton of them.There's one on YouTube, from Tom Seaver's return to the Mets in 1983: If Ralph Kiner were still alive today he'd be spinning in his grave.

NJTank Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I wonder what the Mets will do patch wise, hopefully its as nice as the one they used for Gary Carter in 2012. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
