Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Jerry Springer Loves Finsbury Park!
In a visit to the London Metros AAA League game against the Essex Arrows on Sunday 21 June, TV chat-show host Jerry Springer told the players about his love for baseball and how much he was enjoying the chance to watch a game while he was visiting London.
Jerry helped out as a base umpire during his visit and in the break between games he took the opportunity for a little batting practice with London Mets pitcher Rob Anthony.
During a chat with the London Metros AAA team, Jerry told Head Coach Neil Warne how impressed he was with the London Mets Club and the facilities at Finsbury Park. Jerry, the former Mayor of Cincinnati, said "to run a youth programme reaching 6500 kids a year in inner city London is great. To do it with volunteers and almost no funding is amazing."
