A Head Start

The old saying goes, “The early bird catches the worm”. I guess there is a lot of truth in this when it comes to baseball. Scouting, knowing what talent to go after and making trades during the off season are all elements that go into trades and that prove “The early bird,” does in fact, “catch the worm”. Certainly it is better going into the season with what you need than trying to obtain it during the year. I think Met fans know that feeling.

As a result, when I see a thanksgiving flyer, see places already talking about Black Friday, perhaps it is not surprising. After all, why not get an early start on this as well. What is amazing to me is how Black Friday has changed. Yes, there still are people who like to go out early in the morning, deal with the large crowds and the craziness. I have friends, in fact, who enjoy that.

On the other hand, in this day and age, when can go shopping on Black Friday without ever leaving the house. You can still get the good deals. So, let’s say you are looking for a game, you can go to Toys-R-Us on your computer, check out the deals and purchase what you want.

Don’t forget to get those Met Tickets as well and remember, “The early bird catches the worm”.
