About Moe

Moe Resner has just started his 18th year with the

Mets, also acting as chief statistician and special assistant

to Joe in other on and off-field duties. All score sheets and

averages still go directly to Tucson, Arizona where Moe's

son, Edward, computerizes all the details.

Moe is a busy writer for the Pelham Sun , describing each day

of Mets action in his article called "Pelham Mets Baseball

Diary." It is truly a diary, with each major event of each game accurately reported. His other article, "The Major League Baseball Scene" is

syndicated throughout Westchester County in Martinelli Publications.

Moe's roots are in New York so that his traveling 53 miles each

way from his home in Edison, New Jersey has been truly a

small effort, having logged over 3000 miles in 19 years, going

back and forth between Edison and Pelham.

Moe was originally a left handed pitcher who participated in

every New York league imaginable. He was with such legendary

teams as the Westchester Grays, and played in the Federation and

Tri-County Leagues in the '50's. He was only one of three Americans

playing for Atenao Cubano in the Spanish leagues. He was general

manager of the Mount Vernon Generals of the Atlantic Collegiate

Baseball League, and helped them to win their only pennant in l98l. From l978 through l986, Moe was a special staff assistant for the Montreal Expos minor league teams, primarily covering Florida, Tennessee, and Colorado.

And finally, in his early 70's, he continues to be the strangest coach ever to take the field. He takes batting practice, works out the infield, but catches rather than hit to the infielders. He also prefers to fill in at first base in workouts, and occasionally makes a cameo appearance at the plate. Normal adults retire.

Moe refuses to do so. Aside from the Westchester Baseball Association, the Pelham Mets have a full schedule in the Puerto Rico League, playing their games at St. Mary's Park in the Bronx. And if that isn't nostalgia for Moe.....nothing else is.
