Logan Verrett, seen here making an obscene gesture with fellow pervert Noah Syndergaard, takes the mound for the Mets today.

Respecting Eiffel 65 (1999) and the Royal Giants (1905-1942). That's history people. @lverrett4 pic.twitter.com/7EOVeLHBok

On the other side is the bright, promising, charismatic, handsome Jerad Eickhoff, often seen not making any obscene gestures at anyone. What a cool guy. Did you know he was born one day after America?

Thanks to everyone who reached out to me and wished me well on my birthday the past couple of days. It means a lot!
