Jerry Grote

Comments

15 days till Opening Day!

Just part of my collection.

# 15 Always my favorite, best defensive catcher ever with a rifle throwing arm. Most congenial as well.

Missed having you at the game last night for #36 retirement. Hope you are well.

Watching Jerry Koosman's number retirement ceremony and I said 'Where's Grote?'. Then I remembered the debacle that was your last journey to Citi Field and thought 'Yeah, he's better off to stay in Texas.'. Have a great weekend, Jerry! ⚾️

Hello Jerry!! Lifetime Mets fan- went to my first game in 1966 vs the Braves, 8 years old at your doubleheader against the Expos when you went into first place! I am friends with Bud Harrelson and his family- Buddy lives 5 houses away from me. Hope you are doing well!

just ordered my custom Mets Pullover

Just got this card today from my brother

Happy Birthday Jerry! I hope you enjoy today and many more!

Happy birthday Catch!

Happy birthday Jerry!

"There was never any doubt that Jerry Grote was one of the best defensive receivers in the National League. He always handled pitchers well and had a rifle arm."

🌪😢 Just wanted to give all of you an update. Our family is safe here in Central Texas after the horrendous line of tornados that ripped through our area earlier this evening. Numerous tornado sirens went off while we hunkered down in the hallway. We had high winds and a lot of hard, pounding rain. We were definitely blessed and spared from any major damages.
Unfortunately, many others were not as lucky. The attached videos are from Round Rock, Texas, only 45 miles south of us where we go for all of our medical care and where the Round Rock Express ballpark is located, in Elgin (55 min away) and Jarrell, Texas (27 min away). Please keep them, and many others, in your prayers.
