About Moe

Moe Resner has just started his 26th 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, at age 80, he continues to be the most unique 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.
