It’s the three words that always come to mind when you think about Rey Ordóñez. Celebrating his 47th birthday today, and we’re ready to party like it’s 1999. I, like most Mets fans, have such fond memories of the 99 season. At 9 years old, it was my second full season following Mets baseball, and my first year playing softball. I picked Robin Ventura‘s number 4 to wear that year and was completely enamored with the skill of that infield. Even though I chose Ventura’s number, I was a shortstop. A shortstop who wanted to play just like Rey Ordóñez.
