HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY:

I've been a friend of Johnny's since High School, and I can say that "JC" is pretty much an easy going guy who is well liked; but of all the teams for who Johnny played, and for the number of times he's been traded, waived, or demoted, the only team he holds a grudge against are the Mets!

Even when JC was a toddler in his crib, he was referred to as "light-hitting John Cangelosi"

When John was released by the Mets, Dallas #$@#$! Green's comment was that John didn't supply enough power. Hey $%#$!, with that roster full of leadfoots, you needed speed, and John was able to provide it, along with a pretty good glove.

My nickname for John was "Midget Man" because he looked like he could still play in Little League. He was feisty and a competitor. Wish he would've stayed around a little longer. Thanks $%#$%#! Dallas Green.

On my 10th birthday, May 7, 1994, my parents took me to a Cards/Mets game in St. Louis. The score was 0-0 with a player on base and Cangelosi up to bat. He kept fouling the ball over and over again. Eventually he hit the ball for a double, which broke the bat. Well, sure enough the double drove the runner home winning the game for the Mets 1-0. After the game, my dad spotted someone with a pro bat. My dad offered the guy $ for the bat so he could give it to me for my birthday. The guy refused. My dad tried and tried. Eventually the guy took the $ and gave us the bat. It was the broken bat that Cangelosi had used. To top it off, the guy gave me the $ and told me to go buy some ice cream and enjoy my birthday! Thanks T.Roberts!!!!

I liked Cangelosi. Ya gotta root for the underdog. That's why many of us are Mets fans. But I had to laugh when, at the beginning of the 1998 season, the Marlins raised their 1997 World Championship banner and Cangelosi was almost the only 1997 Marlin present.
