Who Is Hot Foot?
Hot Foot was founded by a group of life long friends who also happen to be die hard Mets fans. Hot Foot comes from the great 1986 Mets relief pitcher Roger McDowell who would use a wad of gum to stick a roll of cigarettes to the back of unsuspecting teammates shoes and light them on fire, thus a Hot Foot. Hot Foot is inspired by the same rock and roll baseball mentality of Roger and the 86 Mets, and uncensored commentary with news, notes, rumors and analysis revolving around the world of the Amazin New York Mets.

Last week The Final Score introduced me to Pat Venditte a switch pitcher for the Staten Island Yankees. This is intriguing to me but I think begs the question why hasn't this been done before? Long before Billy Wagner was was a professional ball p…
